Admiral Blue production to come to an end!
I just learned from GM that Admiral Blue will be coming to an end. The last chance to order it will be June and the buildout will be in August. Admiral Blue now joins Watkins Glen Gray Metallic as colors that will be ending. The last month to order Watkins Glen Gray is May and that color will buildout in June. GM says replacement colors are coming soon.

because they are stupid just like they quit Black Rose and Montery Red. i bet they quit it because a bean counter said it costs to much for the paint in those colors

Admiral blue: 7.3%
Black rose: 2.3%
I'm slightly surprised at losing WGG though. That was the 4th most popular color in 2018.

If more people saw those colours, more might purchase their cars in those colours. I can't recall seeing Black Rose up here in Canada, which is a shame.

Still hate to hear that Admiral Blue is going away - it really is a beautiful color on the car.

Torch Red is the best bright red IMO. One time my friend brought over his Victory Red C6 Z06 and you could clearly tell my Torch Red was brighter and stood out more.
