Grand Sport Pictures/videos of the new 2017 Corvette colors***

I viewed the new colors for 2017 today and I posted pictures and videos on my Facebook page CorvetteFurman. Take a look and let me know what you think of the 2017 Corvettes shown in person. Black Rose is vey similar to the C4 color and looks great on the C7 body. Sterling Blue is much lighter than Carlisle Blue from 2012. I would say it's a real light Silver Blue. Watkins Glen Gray metallic is darker than Cyber Gray and the metallic is brilliant. Great color that will sell very very well. Lots of new Heritage editions at the Corvette Bash. I will be here today thru Friday afternoon.
Check out my CorvetteFurman Facebook page for pictures and videos of the 2017's I viewed today.

Does anyone else think Admiral Blue is looking more like LeMans Blue than the Admiral Blue we knew with C4?

I agree. It looks very close to Long Beach Red in the video. Nothing announced yet that pulls me away from my top two choices, Arctic White or Long Beach Red Z06. However I hope the have more to announce later today, especially about the 2017 Z06. I hope they don't keep us waiting a few more months due to the delayed Z06 production timeline.

The reverse Grand Sport in White with the blue stripe looks sweet. Not sure if I like it more than the regular blue with white stripe. I wonder if the stripes are paint or stickers?

Black Rose looks like it'll be purple or black cherry in the sunlight.

Are those Grand Sport hashmarks over the front fender reflective like police car graphics? Blech....

Still happy with my SGM.

Would have liked to see a nice dark green met maybe a shade lighter than the '14 LRG. Hey, always next year...

Great color combo. And I too am looking forward to pics of the Black Rose metallic color.
