Matrix Gray
So I was having a conversation with a corvette specialist who emailed me the 2018 changes. I noticed a new color which is the same color for the carbon 65. I was excited since I love Fashion gray and nardo gray. He did confirm that this is available on any model not just the Carbon 65. Here is the changes in PDF.

Paint colors
I ordered an Admiral Blue 18 in June and received it about 3 weeks ago so I would assume it is still available. I know you have been agonizing over what color to get for resale, rarity, etc. Just get the first color that comes to mind and when you get it here get it wrapped titty pink. Guaranteed no one will have one...............well maybe a Mary Kay salesperson. Never mind.
Seriously, order the damn car with your first favorite color. Drive it and enjoy. They will not be an investment. Hell, I have a 2013 SSB ZR1 that is WAY rarer than any Z06 and it isn't gonna hold much value.

Hard to tell what it really looks like inside the building, I think if you' are considering the color you should see it in the sunlight. To me it looked like an off white with hints of blue in it, not a bad color.

It's definitely not white. They have a big warehouse with about 100 or so new Corvettes where I picked up my new ZO6. While they were getting the paperwork ready I walked down the rows looking at the cars, they had 3 2018's in that color, and they were parked next to a couple white cars, and the gray is definitely a few shades darker. It was a bit hard to ell indoors, the lighting wasn't really good, so I think the best idea if you're interested in that color is to look at it outside in natural light.
