C8 Color Request Thread - Hey GM
1. Bring back Velocity Yellow
It's the perfect shade of yellow... not orange or school bus like Millennium Yellow and not pale and green like Corvette Racing Yellow. I love yellow, but it has to be the right shade. Corvette Racing Yellow sucks.

Second that! We LOVE our Velocity Yellow.
We are expecting some surprises on colors next year.

I’m leaning toward a yellow ME next and velocity would be good. I will decide once we see what is dramatic on GM’s Corvette pallet. 
We live very close to Lancaster, Pa and the Amish ‘Plain People’ are in that area everywhere. My wife is an avid quilter. So, we often drive there in my C7 for her to buy fabric for her passion. I tease her about having more $$$$$$ in fabric, that she cuts up into small pieces then sews back together, than I do in my $$$$ Corvettes . One thing that can be said is when it comes to color, the Amish are anything but ‘Plain’. So I could easily pick from the bellow pallets.
EDIT: She made me do it!

I prefer Velocity Yellow over CRY.
