In the past, Corvettes used to have a "competition yellow." This one, from the pic, begins to look closer than Velocity Yellow (not that Velocity is a bad color at all!!!).

Perhaps the 2015 "Yellow" was a paint color defect?

We gotta really be getting tired of colors that are affected by under and overexposure...as the first picture is. Notice the saturation of the entire picture. It is a 2015 Corvette with a change in the saturation IMO. Didnt we have the same guessing with DSOM just a few months back?

Next up someone will be saying its a gold dress...no a blue dress.

If it is different, it isn't MUCH different. I'm glad though. Velocity yellow was already good!
