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!!

I saw my first Sebring Orange C7 a few days ago. My new favorite Corvette color. Subtle, unique, and classy looking. Never thought I'd think that way about orange.
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.

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 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.
To the same point, gray looks REALLY good on the 720S, just like it does on a lot of the higher end sports cars.
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.

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.

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.

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.
