Maybe they hired the guy in charge of "colors" for Mercedes:

I was able to get a photo of the inside but was told to "Close the door!" before I could get a better photo of the new carbon fiber steering wheel which you can still see in this photo.
The interior is the Jet Black Suede that was only offered previously as one of the Design Packages:

If they can do this(?) why not an orange metallic like Lamborghini has used. Or the beautiful metallic green on the AMG GTR?
C'mon GM give it a try?!

Thanks for sharing the photos.
I am a big fan of Arctic White Vettes. I will withhold judgement until I see more photos or see it in person.

I'll take a look at it this weekend, but I'm pretty meh about it and GM's paint choices.
They need to step out on a limb with their paint, especially if they want to capture the younger market.
How many versions of Grey/White/very light blueish silver do they need?
Bring back a bright orange/green or something else different....I'm sure it won't sel like a red or black but it gets you a lot of attention/positive press for your brand

It's a Miata color. It's even called Ceramic.

Like others here, I will reserve judgement until I see....................................t he end of this sentence. YUCK!.

Color looks very interesting and I have a feeling I would really like it in person! But what's up GM with all the cheap decals and hash marks??? Enough already!!
But Kudos to what seems like a nice color! I think Range Rover and Lambo offer a similar color. Also, like one of the other poster mentioned, the Corvette team should look at Mercedes for some very nice colors and their matte colors are amazing!! And stay away from geriatric colors like dark green, burnt orange (lighter exotic oranges can be nice) and burgundies.

Good to see you hear, Dave. However, moving away from "geriatric colors" would not be good for Corvette sales.

They blacked out the halo also....
