Ceramic Gray or Admiral Blue GS vert
Close to ordering new GS- used to have LBR which I loved- now considering above with 2 tone grey/black interior / manual /black wheels with red stripe and red calipers-
Have not seen any ceramic gray in person.
Blue car would have blue roof and gray would have black roof.
Any thoughts????

Ceramic gray looks like dingy white. Admiral blue metallic is one of the best flavors of blue GM has ever offered, and will only be available for a few more months before being discontinued, btw.
Picking the colors has always been the hardest part when ordering my Vettes except for my '18 AB GS. Nice problem to have, good luck.

Admiral Blue color combo as you describe is stunning. The Ceramic Gray is nice but just does not bring out the aggressive lines of the C7 like Admiral Blue.

It's all just personal opinions, only you can decide. For me it was Arctic White.
This Ceramic Matrix Gray thread may help you decide.

Between the two options, I prefer the Admiral Blue. I saw the Ceramic Matrix Gray at a show earlier this month and the color really didn't do anything for me. If anything, it probably matches up best with a blue interior as it has a blue-ash tint. I saw one with a regular trim package and one with the Carbon 65 trim package. Neither really jumped out at me and I agree that if you're leaning towards Admiral Blue, get it now before the color is discontinued.

I have the Admiral Blue and its Stunning!!! That's the way to go, plus I heard 2018 will be the last for this color, its going away.

Color is a very personal choice - that said, I'd pick Admiral Blue between the two colors. It was my second choice of color.

Ceramic Matrix with a Blue top gets my vote!

Hey arm, first off, congrats on ordering a new C7! Had a '15 Z51 and now a '17 GS. Great cars.
Color is a very personal choice, and only you can really decide. We ended up with the AB GS because my wife really didn't like the color on the '15 (DSOM - I liked it, but she didn't. But it was a pretty 'dull' color when in the shade). I would suggest that you go see them both in different lighting situations - both in the sun, and in the shade. Think of the long-run - which really makes it work for you.
Good luck - I don't see how you can lose either way!

2 Tone Blk and Gray is the Bomb.Drove about 300 miles to see it.Had to have it.Comes with Gray stitching threw out even in 2lt.
The carpets are light so darken it up a bit with Mats and Console Cover.
I would go with WGGray But that would be me.
