I just learned that Watkins Glen Gray will be cut from ordering in May. This fall a new Gray will replace the popular color. If you like WGG and are thinking about ordering a new Corvette, do it sooner than later!
Hard to believe that one. Number 2 seller on the Z06 and 4th over all in 2017 easy best gray yet! But oh well I have 1 and it's perfect.
Anything can be "bright" colored. Imho, something like the Vette needs to be more subtle. I love the "medium pewter metallic" on my C5, but of course, it doesn't have all the contrasting louvers, scoops, etc. "standing out" all over it as does a C7. I felt black was the only way to deal with such stuff, functional though it all may be.
Medium Pewter Metallic is for Toyota Camry's driven by government employees counting down the days until retirement. That color doesn't belong anywhere near a Corvette.

I am not a fan of yellow, but this example really shines! I've seen a few Aston Martins in my area, and they really know how to build a car that is understated looking, but beautiful.
I would like to see GM bring back "Electron Blue". I'd trade my car tomorrow if I found out they were bringing back that color.
Personally, I'd like to see Medium Spiral Gray again. Love that color! That or Steel Cities Gray!
Those two are kind of similar, both have a hint of green. And Shark looks a little bit brown. And Cyber has the blue flake in it. Watkins is definitely the purest gray!
I would like to see Chevy put this paint on their C7 Corvette. It’s called Nardo Gray as seen on this Audi. It would look so bad *** on a Vette. How ‘bout it GM?

All the young guys love Nardo gray and don’t mind at all that it looks like a US Navy staff car.
Haven't seen a bad color on a C7 yet.Some are better than others But,Can't recall i can say the same about a different car.
C7 Style is a WINNER.Gee,Why has people owned more than 1

Glad I got my 2018 GS in WGG - it is probably the most understated and fly under the radar color in the C7 lineup from 2014-2019. I am not a big fan of the high contrast between all the carbon flash trim and the car's body color, but also don't like plain black. WGG and the NRB I had before that both did a good job of making the carbon flash blend into the car.
GM has done a good job offering a wide spectrum of colors on the C7, covering those that like high contrast and classic standout in a crowd colors (white, yellows, oranges, light grays/blues & TR) and more laid back colors (darker grays, darker blues & black) and some (silver, shark gray, LBR, & LRG) that bridge the gap.
I am expecting Dark Shadow Gray to be a true gray (like WGG - not any noticeable non-black hue in it) but somewhat darker. I can see that being very popular too.
