Should have been a few shades darker - more like my Kia Stinger GT2.

Had to get the red interior.

Yes when next to white big difference. Especially at dusk or cloudy the car takes on a blue hue. Looks really good in person

100% agree
I ordered CMG sight unseen anyway , but really wanted your Kia shade. "wet cement" I call it.
btw, the CMG looks very different in different lighting,
Auto show lighting looked washed out, but no one drives around in a convention center, eh?

While I prefer a darker gray exterior with a red interior, the CMG exterior still looks good with a red interior. Congrats on a sharp looking car.

nice. When they are next to each other it’s an obvious difference. I ordered ceramic. I wish I could see it in person.

Terrific color, and my first choice in C8 color for 2020. It really pops with black wheels and carbon flash trim accents and the two tone blue interior accentuates the blue in the CMG. I plan to paint the calipers blue to match the interior, and also paint the engine cover and valve covers in the same blue.
edit: just noticed the poster above me has the same color scheme planned. Now I’m even more perplexed as to why gm doesn’t offer tension blue calipers.

Any plans to add options for tension blue sills? I'd order today if i can get CMG with tension blue sills. Or rapid blue for the sills as the color looks close
