Rapid Blue (internal name) leaked?
Stumbled on this in C7 Gen as someone thought they were two new outgoing C7 colors. Maybe my wish of a new Nassau Blue/Jetstream Blue is happening! Very close to the CervIII! Rapid Blue is the 2nd blue on the leaked order guide.

Why does the Cerv have one working headlight? Lol. That is a nice blue though.

Probably was my post that I bumped the other day.
They showed up in the 2019 colors in the GM parts catalog. Rapid Metallic and Accelerate Metallic.
Rapid showed up in the leaked order guide for the C8.

Yep.... was your post. Where'd the color sample I posted come from? Rapid Blue is indeed on the leaked order guide... I was hoping it would be something like this.

Doubt it... probably going to be the "first year only" interesting color like Lime Rock Green was for the 2014 C7.
Looks very dark.... was hoping for more of a champagne color, but I guess that's not bronze.

Does GM use the same name across models for colors or no? I'm curious if this could end up being pacific blue equivalent... that's a nice color too and is actually what I have on my truck. Just don't know if it would work on a vette.

No... they have internal pre-production names that I guess come from suppliers... then they have the names as marketed. I.e I think Laguna Blue was Jazz Blue etc. etc. They don't use the same names across cars even when it's the same color.

Reminds me a lot of the 1987-1989 Nassau Blue, or medium Blue Met.

68 Lemans Blue Big Block I sold a few years ago. Love that color. Very similar.
