2018 paint colors - Pearl white coming?
Does anyone know if Chevy will be offering a pearl white paint on the 2018 Vette? I think that would look great with a red interior!

2018s are currently out, wouldn't it already be common knowledge if a new pearl white had been added? Seems so.

I don't think any additional new colors will be added in 2018. GM is currently bringing a new paint shop on line. They will be trying to get all the existing colors to work with the new paint system. It does not seem logical that they would decide to introduce another new color while still trying to get the existing colors worked out with the new process. IMHO, the colors that have been announced for 2018 are it for that year. 2019 might be different.

The only thing pearl white looks good on IMHO are trucks and Cadillacs, to me it's not a "sportscar" color.

I don't know about Pearl White, but I think a new color or 2 may be added for MY 2018. I notice that the color charts for 2018 have not been released yet. Usually they come out at the same time as the sales brochure, maybe that means new colors may be added.....????

I really doubt pearl white would be added to the lineup for 2018 because that would make it a third "white" color, as we already have Arctic White and Ceramic Matrix Gray (which honestly is just a dirty looking white color)

If they wanted to make a splash with a new color to show off the new paint shop, seems like they would go with something a bit brighter and/or more flashy than another shade of white.

I think they should do Krypton Green like the Camaro. You can get all these crazy colors in Dodge stuff, but the Corvettes are all old people colors. Of course I can't say much as I own a shark gray, but my next Vette is gonna be a fun color.

I think the idea is IN ADDITION TO, not IN PLACE OF. Old Farts can still have their dowdy colors, but if GM expects to attract a younger demographic, perhaps some colors with some pizzaz are not out of order.

I prefer subdued colors (I just turned 27 and would have preferred a Cyber Grey or Night Race Metallic Blue over the Velocity Yellow '14 that I got recently - a good deal is a good deal), but I know a bunch of people my age that would prefer something like a Lambo orange or green.
