I always loved Atomic Orange from 07-09, DSOM is ok. I'm not sure about Sebring, might be too close to Inferno or Torch Red.

Yes, my wrap which matches more or less BMW Fire Orange with 3M wrap material. This is my ideal orange, I’m hopeful the new Sebring Orange is close- real paint is much better than any wrap. I have a new 2018 GT3 on order in PTS Pastel Orange which also is close to this color.

You can probably get any color combination you want if you order it with the D30 color override option.


COLOR COMBINATION OVERRIDE (D30) provides the opportunity to individualize vehicle appearance by overriding recommended restrictions to color, trim and convertible top (if equipped) combinations (To be used exclusively to override color, trim and convertible top combinations. Should be limited to sold orders only. Refer to separate D30 color and trim chart for application.

This is what I was hoping for as well, a non-metallic orange, like Black, AW, TR, or VY. While I've owned many metallic colors, I've developed a new fondness again for solid colors w/o metal flakes.

I most likely would have ordered a new one in this color.

I'd call that OSO (old school orange).
Design trends seems to waffle back and forth over the years, I wouldn't be surprised to see non-metallics coming back into strong favor down the road, just like I expect to see a shift from black wheels on the horizon.

I think black wheels are still on a rising curve. You're right at some point the pendulum will swing to something else. I see more and more manufacturers offering them, and they're now invading the SAV/SUV world.

I used to hate black wheels and would only choose silver-painted or polished aluminum wheels (never chrome), but black grew on me, such that I now love them. My tastes do change, and variety is the spice of life.

I think the new Sebring Orange is the best orange ever offered on a Corvette since Monaco Orange in '69.

You know, I called it Pumpkin Orange too, after viewing Mike Furman's Sunday pics of the new orange.

There's no way to detect that it's metallic flaked, in any of Mike's photos.

I gotta tell ya, I like the flat Pumpkin Orange as it appears.
