Just thought I'd throw this out there since the OP is still on the fence about it:
Last day to place an order for Watkins Glen Gray is May 17th, which is a week from tomorrow. So needless to say, if this is the color you want, you'll need to pull the trigger very soon. It's replacement is Shadow Gray Metallic. There's also a 4-5 week gap between ordering WGG or it's replacement...meaning you won't be able to get either for a brief time.
Oh, and I ordered (currently an owner of) a WGG Grand Sport, but I don't have a gray interior...it's Adrenaline Red.
After seeing some of these pics and looking at other WGG pics I called my dealer. Apparently today is the last day to order WGG. They said GM sent out a correction..and my dealer doesn't have an allocation so they can't place the order..All this time agonizing over a color I can't even get.

That is correct. However, we ordered a TON of WGG Corvettes on order!

Fyi, there’s a sticky post that has all of the links for the “official” posts for all colors available. If you check out the wgg post you’ll be able to see hundreds of pics of that color in all different configurations.

Thanks I stumbled across those earlier today. Some great pics there for sure.
Van Bortel Chevy in Rochester ,N.Y. has a few WGG on there web site. A 2019 GS convertible WGG with two tone Adrenaline Red / black interior and red calipers was sharp looking! lot of pictures. I bought my GS over the phone from them and had a great buying experience. Nate was my salesperson.
Not trying to hijack your post, but this color is awesome. Red is fine but there is no metallic in it, so imperfection show up more easily. The metallic flake hides a lot of dust, chips, and marks. Personally I do detailing as a side business so mine is in great shape but i do have a small chip or 2 around the rear fenders and you cannot see them unless your face is right up to it and looking for it.
This dude knows what he's talking about. Any paint with metal flake in it will look better in more situations than any color without metal flake in it. WGG is almost black in some lighting conditions but when the sun hits it, the flake reflects the light making it much harder to see dirt or imperfections. As the owner of a flat black car for 13 years I can tell you that having metal flake in your car makes your life so much easier and more enjoyable.
Let me add this, you need to see WGG in person to really understand how it looks, because it has a drastically different look in different lighting conditions. In low light, it is almost black, in full light it's almost a light grey, and then it also seems to reflect colors that are around it.
One more thing, this color is also named Son of a Gun Grey and Nightfall Grey when used on other vehicles. It's actually listed as Son of a Gun grey on a lot of the vehicle paperwork.

Good information. I was looking at one last weekend and wasn't thrilled with the way it looked, guessing this was why. It was in a dark area of the showroom. Looks like I'm ordering a 2LT blue, gray int and a blue top...unless I switch back to torch red, I'm.struggling to decide. The fact that WGG is off the table for me might actually make this decision easier. The only other color I want is yellow and my wife is very much against that choice. Can't wait until I'm allocated a vehicle so I can stop agonizing over this decision.

Pretty sure I'm getting admiral blue now at least in part because of the metallic paint. Thanks for the thoughts above.
Got WGG with 2 Tone Gray Gut.Drove 5 hrs. To see it..Sold
Pictures have no justice.The Dash color matches perfectly too.
Awesome looking car. If WGG were an option for me, the Stingray I would have designed would have looked very similar. Love the gray on gray look. Two tone is sharp also.
FWIW - I had a Monterey Red C6 (sold in '12) and came back this past October w/ an '18 WGG GS, 7M, w/ Kalahari interior. My wife said: "you're getting a GREY 'vette?" Then I brought it home and she was blown away. Nearly everyone compliments me on the color. I never would've guessed w/ a shade of grey but there's just something about it.
