I'm a CMG guy. Although I do love the ELB as it reminds me of the Laguna blue which I was a huge fan of. However, something about the CMG that is soooo different from the other colors.

saw a base c7 in that color. I liked it. Also have seen a couple of Toyota suv’s Similar color grey maybe a little with the black wheels— looked sharp. But I am on the fence on how that color will hold up style-wise down the road.

I think they are both good colors but if I had to pick it would be EB with blue package. IMO EB will look stunning once ceramic coated.

Ceramic matrix gray is simply one of a kind, blue...well its just a different shade of blue... in a sea of blue car! IMO

I got a chance to see the Elkhart Blue in person last weekend, gotta say I like it & I'm not a blue person. My opinion between the two is the Elkhart blue pops, it draws you in & stands out, so why get a boring color like ceramic matrix gray

GM changes up the blue flavors about every 3 years, so when they produce one that you like you should get it while you can. White and CMG appear to be close in cloudy or low light conditions, and white will be around forever. And ever.

with all due respect. CMG and AW are like Superman (AW) and Kryptonite (CMG)..

AW is beautiful.. until....CMG shows up then it becomes run of the mill ordinary in it's presence.


AW looks like a rental car nect to this one... just my opinion but in real life the difference is even more outstanding..

funny thing about CMG though is when it isn't in the presence of an AW car it too looks kind of plain...

the above pics were on an overcast day.
