SEBRING ORANGE "thoughts"

Corvette Action Centers shows only 34 2018 Grand Sport Coupe's in SEBRING ORANGE
and 31 Z06 Coupes were mfg....
I thought SEBRING ORANGE was considered to be a desireable "kool" COLOR
yet it has the lowest production numbers of any 2018 Color.....

I currently have a INFERNO ORANGE 2012 Grand Sport Coupe which was also the lowest %
color in 2012. I get many compliments on my IO color at shows......yet ORANGE Doesnt get
much love from new buyers ordering Corvettes.......

I may be interested in buying one of the 34 2018 Grand Sport Coupe's if anybody reading
has one......could you please keep my Email CamarosRus@gmail.com

Please share your SEBRING ORANGE Photos and your thoughts on this UNPOPULAR
Color...........

I think it was only available around towards the end of the 2018 model year run and, you have to remember, the 2019 model year started up early.
I picked up my SO 2019 in March of 2018.

You tell me, is Sebring Orange an ugly color?

Everywhere I go, it turns heads and gets thumbs up.

For my 2019 order, I really wanted Sebring orange but after seeing it in person I went with red instead. A new flavor of orange is on the 2020 Equinox. Pictured is my wifes Cayenne Orange Equinox. Had this flavor been available on the 19 Vette I would have ordered it. It is close to inferno in my opinion. I love inferno orange. BTW, I am in no way knocking anyones Sebring orange vette, it just wasn't for me.

The close parking job was for photo op fun.

I think Sebring Orange really "POPS" with chrome wheels. Black reminds me of Halloween.

It is very different in person, remarkably so. I like it in pictures better, but in person it still is a nice color.

I have a yellow C7 Z06. It also looks different in person v. pictures.

I think both colors are like or not.
