This is my buddy's 488. Love this color and that will be my choice in the ME, if offered. He wants a ME as well.

I like the color of my Mclaren. It’s called Ice Silver... it changes from a blueish hue, to white, to silver depending on the light and angle you view it at. Tons of metallic fleck too. I’d love to see them do a color changing paint like this.
I'm sure we will both be disappointed

It would be nice to see a bold yet classy elegant color like Lamborghini Viola Ophelia
But knowing GM corporate it will never happen.

Would be awesome if they offered a PTS option, though can't imagine that would happen.

This is a new car with new parameters in all areas! I suspect that GM realizes that it has an opportunity to spring an entirely new color palette on the auto buying/leasing public. While they may allow for a periodic throwback or historic color to appear, I am confident that we will see an modestly new array of available colors.

I agree with whoever said it depends on the lines. That said, I second the vote for Nassau Blue.
As for Grady's vote for the "Gulf" blue, IIRC, that color was actually called "Robin's Egg Blue."

When they built the new paint shop (millions) you were supposed to be able to pick any color and have your car painted that color. Hasn't happened yet. Hopefully, it will be an option on the C8. Because I'm sick of GM and their "same old color, new name" thing.

Somebody mentioned Elkhart Green, so I thought I'd post my 73 Big Block.
