They need to think like lambo!! Green, mango orange, brite blue, come out with some wow colors, I don’t notice any corvette unless it’s yellow, and the same goes with a lambo, who the hell buys a white lambo?? Come on!! It’s a sports car not a Buick!!

A yellow C8 was to be my last new Corvette. Wife loves yellow on cars, reminds her of her little 88 Honda Coupe, so approves. That is until we went out last weekend to pick up a pizza. And there was this Sebring Orange C7 Parked nearby just like this one. She drooled as the guy got in and pulled away slowly by us. Now her new favorite Corvette color. The driver? A popular though one ugly dude here locally! Not really.

I'll bet the new paint shop will enable some incredible colors on the C8. Maybe they can bring the paint quality up to a new level as well. Often I think half of a Ferrari's impact is from the quality of the red paint.
Absolutely agree. Saw Sebring one month ago and it is my favourite now.

So glad I got my BRM '17. Lots of compliments. Works so well with the black items on the C7. Hard to know if dark or light colors will work on the new model. How will the big shadows on the side scoops take the various colors? How many black trim pieces will there be?

Orange and red are my favorite colors and I have yet to see Sebring Orange in person. Is it a pure orange or an Orange like the Home Depot orange? It seems the metallic in the Sebring Orange gives it a pearl effect but that's just me looking at color chips.

I consider Sebring Orange to be a true orange. As a tint coat, the pearlescent effect is very subtle, and only seen at certain angles in full sun. It is a stunning color in all types of light.

I haven't found any pics that capture Sebring Orange well. It seems to be one of those colors that only comes to life in meatspace.

I think you're absolutely right. It looks somewhat different in almost every photo taken, and I've seen a lot of images on this forum that don't capture it well at all. Having lived with mine for 10 months now, it pleases me in every type of light, and it attracts a stunning amount of attention.

My Long Beach Red (LBR) garners attention and comment all the time. Gray Interior.

My C7 is black rose and it get compliments on the color every single time I take the car out.
I don't think a color needs to be in your face flashy to get attention, just something different from the norm. This, coming from a 32yr old.

Never thought I would like Orange on a Corvette until this one! Many many compliments on this color.

And I never thought I’d like black wheels on a C7 Corvette until I’ve just viewed yours. It’s perfect with black accents, top, spoiler, stripes and interior. To keep it two tone Orange/Black maybe add Sebring Orange painted calipers to get rid of the gray. I actually like the mirrors staying SO.

I like "Super Blue" as used on the 2016 Buick Avista prototype show car that GM's Ed Welburn worked as his last car. It could take the place of Shadow Gray (which is, essentially, Night Race Blue with a little more gray).

THIS needs to be the next Camaro, Similar body style, yet very elegant, those wheels are almost identical to the ones on my 1LE, this comes from a Camaro owner.

Thank You! I ordered it this way and would have done the Sebring Orange calipers if available.Only way to get the Sebring orange calipers is to get the ZR1 with the Sebring Orange Pkg.

McLaren has two reds that I think would look great on the C8 Corvette...Memphis Red and Volcano Red...both are sort of a dark candy apple red and they are very nice in my opinion...especially out in sunlight. I hope Chevrolet agrees.

I quick search I found no Sebring Orange Caliper Paint. But this Chevy Orange may work for you as it is ceramic based high temperature.
