I have a bit of a strange request I was hoping someone could help me out with..

I'm thinking of purchasing a WGG Grand Sport(off dealers lot obviously as you can't order this awesome color anymore!!). The problem is, I've never seen this color in person.. And, I won't be able to as there are none near me. I know that some colors can look different depending on the camera/light/etc..

My ask is, could someone that owns a WGG C7 find a picture in this thread, or post one of their own pictures, that most accurately displays the "true color"?

Thanks much in advance..

I was really fond of this color. Went to a Dealership and looked at it and at first I really liked it ! However, after walking around it in different light conditions I saw a definite green tint which, for me, was an immediate NO.
All I’m saying is that if you don’t like green in any form, like myself, you won’t be happy with this color.
The color has ‘multiple personality disorder’ since it looks different in different lighting conditions😉.

As far as seeing it in person, you might try other GM models. WGG is not a corvette exclusive color. Other models get a different color name, but the color code is the same. Nightfall gray and phantom gray are other common names. Or try looking at this page. http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcod...%20Glen%20Gray

I second the suggestion that you find a vehicle with the same color. WGG is so reflective that any photo is going to include a lot of the surrounding color--say the color of the sky at the time particularly. My impression of photos here is that they tend to be darker than my impression of my WGG C7. The surfaces that are horizontal reflect the sky and so look almost silver under many conditions, but the actual color (seen on the sides, for example) tends to be darker.

I'm not sure how far you are in your quest, but djnice is right. Most of the C7 color spectrum does require you to take a personal look versus what pictures can provide. Seeing it in a showroom (.ie auto show) looks way different versus inside a dealership or outside. What I'd probably do is view a high quality vid of the car's color on YouTube. 1080p or 4k if possible. Again, not a 100% representation, but at least you can see the way the light reflects upon it, and how it can interpret different shades to the human eye.
