Well it has been said on here multiple times over. I hear more complaints than positives about the new yellow. We do have to wait until we see it, but we can do a comparison for now on photo vs photo.
These are yellow....
This is a shade of green...
May i hope they bring back this yellow. Looks great on the NSX; I bet it would be amazing on the C8.

^^^ Having owned a millennium yellow c5 I was really hoping that MY or a similar shade would be offered. I’ll reserve final judgement until we see an actual car as the Configurator does a really poor job of color representation.

All of the above are yellow. I appreciate that the C8 team went with a more modern color, rather than sticking with the old mustard color.
I agree, most of the GM yellow's are flat and look like molded plastic toy material. The Acura/Honda metallic yellow would look good on the C8 but for some reason GM doesn't like premium yellow paints like they do the oranges. I'm a fan of the new highlighter metallic yellow based on the paint sample frog and calipers, looks like it fits the personality of the car. I'm guessing it will look like the Camaro's Shock Yellow with metal flake added. Should be wild!
I liked the yellow used on the racecars... The trouble with "modern" is that it stops being modern and sometimes end up being... Well, remember the turquoise metallic C4's? To each their own of course.
The first examples all look like school bus or utility truck yellow.
From the pics, the 2020 yellow reminds me of Plymouth's Hi-Impact 1971 "Curious Yellow," which is an eyeball-searing shade of yellow that looks amazing.

That's interesting, I have never seen that before. Doesn't change my mind that I want a yellow Vette. I still think it looks washed out and neon-ish. Not a color I want on my car.
It's really tough not seeing the color on a car and in the sun. An example is BMW Austin Yellow Met. I saw a picture and thought it looked terrible. Saw one in person, outside in the sun, amazing!
I don't understand the need to see the car in the sun as the deciding factor. Unless you live in a desert it will be cloudy half the time. So if the car looks OK or bad in the shade, that means you will be unhappy with your car 50% of the time with it looking ugly to you.
The new yellow looks a little too "highlighter" for my taste as I prefer the more traditional yellows. though if it has metal flake, it might look cool. IMO the sweet spot was Velocity yellow.
The OP's pictures look mustard to me, bordering on orange. Corso's C6 is yellow.
So is my C3. I think the colour was just called Bright Yellow at the time. This is the original paint.
I really like the C8 yellow as well, just a little dab of greenish in there to my eye.
Not being a yellow guy, I like the new one and would actually consider ordering a C8 in that color. To satisfy the traditionalists (and to draw new customers like me who like different hues), they should probably come out with both. We have 2 reds, 2 blues, 2 whites. Why not 2 yellows?
I saw this shock yellow on a Camero yesterday while getting my Z serviced. It was a cloudy day but the color is flat and is very yellow/greenish (highlighter yellow). I'm a fan of yellow but not this one. This one yes.
