Maybe Chevy is telling us what the Silver Flare Metallic is going to look like too. Just my guess. The silver they used on the C8R looks really good to me...

How can they discontinue an iconic color like Blade Silver? 2005 C6 GM unceremoniously dumped Torch Red. Only to have to bring it back. Somethings are the sun in the morning the moon at night.

Just a guess, but I'm betting something like the red tint-coat used by Cadillac would be close. If I recall correctly the Admiral Blue used on Corvette end of 2016 thru 2019 was used by Cadillac before it was on Corvette, it was the same color with a different name.

So there were more Zeus Bronze C8's ordered than Blade Silver? I can't believe it, I've yet to see a Bronze production C8. My Blade Silver 2020 will be doubly rare! My second choice was LBR! Crazy

I think he means a straight shade bright green, not a dark ol' skool ugly forest green metallic...something like the below would look AMAZING on the '8...

Brighter metallic-ish red would be better than LBR. Magnetic red from C5/C6 was a great red.

I think the GPH red mist may be the same as on 2021 GMC Tactical Pearl as per https://www.automotivetouchup.com/to...21/all-models/

I've had a lot of metallic red Corvettes and would welcome something lighter than LBR
2009-2012 2008 Crystal Red tintcoat Z06 427 Wil Cooksey Edition with Titanium interior
2007-2009 2007 Monterey Red Metallic Corvette Convertible with black interior and top
1998-2000 1998 Light Carmine Red Metallic Corvette Convertible with Light Oak interior and top
1991-1998 1989 Dark Red Metallic Corvette Convertible with saddle interior and top and removable hardtop

They are also going to offer some kind of yellow interior with gray seats.
