4 different shades of grey/silver?? And two blacks?? Cmon GM, use a little imagination.
Plus white. That's SEVEN monochrome "colors" out of 14. I'm not personally a fan of the "NFT Green," but it fits a Corvette better the light pea green. And I really don't think another gray is what people have been clamoring for. The new blue looks pretty nice, though.
I think Cacti is fine AND will be what I get! The biggest issue I had when buying my C8 was color. 1st two Vettes were red. Metallic Red for my 1988 and the 40th Anniversary Ruby Red 1993. Wanted something different for my 3rd a C6 and got Velocity Yellow. Even considered Atomic Orange. For my 4th a 2014 C7 got Metallic Red again. Switched to White for my 2017 Grand Sport. Last white I'll ever get for a Vette! Rear was dirty after one round trip to town (~50 miles on back rural roads) and was using waterless cleaner to clean!
So for the C8 thought Yellow BUT then saw Accelerate Yellow and Sebring Orange. Don't want to make folks mad BUT looked like "Safety Vest" colors. Not a fan of blue anything but Rapid Blue, the Vette Yellow and Orange also does not fit a large car like a Vette, IMO! To Each Their Own Some Vette Colors look like a Safety Vest!
Some small things look right in bright colors like these kittens. BUT not a Maine Coon!
They probably already work at that company part time.
Isn’t one of those kittens Cacti color though? You’re breaking your own rules come on man! Malarkey.
Good idea, will buy the wife matching pots.
That kitten looks more like what Lamborghini named his 1974 model with planning shocking shape. When someone first saw it in full scale they said what is a mild Italian Swear Word, "Countach!" Can be translated to something like "Holly ****!" Prefer folks looking at my E-Ray not say "Holly ****" when I drive by! Some C8 colors evoke that response- NOT Cacti!
Understand some would prefer Lime Green so folks are sure to see them!
I had really high hopes for this green thinking it would be something like this pic... GM def dropped the ball. Probably the worst Corvette color in quite a few years.
GM:
"Hey guys I saw this cool tiny pickup over at ford. It had steel wheels and looked kinda vintag-ee with this kinda primer under teal weathered clear coat paint color. It would look perfect on the new Corvette"
Are you sure you wouldn't rather go with something more vintagee Corvette? We have all these 50's teals, and 60's powder blue/greys, 70's deep greens to look at for inspiration.

Had a hard time picking the color for my 2020 C8 because of all the new "Look at Me" bright colors offered. Understand perhaps for younger folk (who GM needs to buy Vettes as we old folks won't be around forever) BUT do they have to be so flashy? Had a nice Velocity Yellow C6 BUT not this current yellow.
However, for some folks even for what Lamborghini thought was a very unique flashy shape (it was when introduced in 1974) some folks had to have it painted crazy colors. To Each Their Own!
Whatever floats your boat to get attention. I prefer the somewhat understated darker silver flames on lighter silver base I choice for my 8.2 Liter ProStreet Rod. Folks who ask why not a coupe, never sat in one! In addition, my 6" engine set back would have your feet up on the seat to fit!

I removed three of the silvers and one black and made a new color palate, and brought back Atomic Orange and added some new colors. See what you think. Why can't GM spend more than 5 minutes picking colors?
I have a strong loathing for bright, gaudy colors that scream, "Look at me!" However, while I do think that Cacti leaves a bit to be desired, I find it far more palatable than some of the other suggestions. Not to say that I would ever want to deprive anyone else of their options and color choices but, people are certainly allowed to have different tastes.
