Color of your new C8?
When you get your new C8, what color are you thinking about? I will probably go with whatever the premium red is called.

If the C8 is appealing.....
Arctic White if available.

It's going to be hard not to get red again. Orange maybe if it's appealing. 
I want to see how GM uses black on this car in terms of the trim pieces, that would play an interesting role in color choice for me.

I would like to see the color called "Bowling Green", I think, like the C5 and C7 had in their 1st year only but be offered in the first 2-3 years with several interior choices of color to choose from. The 2019 ZR1 Orange is hot and maybe a bright Green, something on the exotic side. Like Gundam X7X said above, a lot depends on what black trim pieces will be part of the basic color scheme.

Lime Rock Green Metallic / Kalahari interior. Hope they offer it.

I'll have to see what color looks best on it. A lot of times I'll see a new car design in an absolutely stunning color that really sets off the design, but it's a color I wouldn't normally choose. I need to see it to know I want it.

If they revert to Velocity Yellow then I'd go yellow. Otherwise probably blue if there's something resembling Jetstream or Nassau Blue.

I've read that White exterior with Red interior has always been an option on Corvette, it will be interesting to see how that looks on the C8 and if it's still there.
For me, I've grown pretty fond of the Atomic Orange that I have now, so if something close to it is offered, that would be my choice.

For years I have been hoping that Corvette would offer a metallic black, as does Cadillac, Porsche, and many other manufacturers. Done properly, it is such a classy color, and the C8 would look fabulous in metallic black with either a black, Kalahari, or red interior.
