New 2018 color
I was ready to commit to a black rose Grand sport and now I find out that it will not be offered after plant restart. I know i could search inventories but i am curious what the new color will be, maybe I'll like it better. does anyone know?

I don't think it will be revealed until at least a month, and even then it's not a guarantee. There's also that possibility that the color and the eventual release of the ZR1 could go hand in hand; meaning that whenever the ZR1 is announced, the new color can be represented as the flagship to that model.
As far as the Ceramic (Matrix) Grey, that's already available separately from the Carbon 65 series considering that I already saw one weeks ago at the dealership. Why this isn't available as an option on the official website, I'm not sure. Plus Chevy has already said that Black Rose Metallic will have a replacement color. If it was the Ceramic Grey, they would've already said so.

In my mind, the black rose is 100% the best color offered on the C7. I've got it on my GS and LOVE it

I confirmed that Ceramic gray will be offered in all models. I did hear from a dealer Black Rose will be discontinued. But on the list I just posted I don't see admiral blue. Black rose is there.

I don't know where you got that chart, but Black Rose is gone as of a couple of months ago and will not be back when the plant reopens. I see there is a superscript #3 attached to BR on your chart, the footnote is cut-off. The footnote probably says discontinued after June 2017.

I forget where I found it, but it also was mentioned that there will be a replacement for Black Rose and it's NOT Ceramic Matrix Gray (which I think replaced Sterling Blue). What that could be is uncertain, but I made a theory a few posts up.
Only way to get Black Rose is through a dealership directly via 2018s left over from the plant closure or 2017 model year back stock.

What was shown in that table from CorvetteConti is the 2018 order guide. The footnote is shown in this screen grab of the guide that I have downloaded, just says additional charge as a premium paint. You can find the order guide out there. My guess is they will probably issue a revision at some point...

I didn't take the picture. This is from a Facebook feed.
I like it but it kind of reminds me of inferno orange. I think I'll be sticking with my '17 BRM Z.
