Supposedly Sebring Orange is on the right. It has metal flake in it. Supposedly the new orange has no metal flake. Sebring Orange looks nothing like the panel on the right, so the lighting and/or the color balance of the photos is way off.

Amplify Orange Tintcoat (RPO GC5)

From the above picture, GC5 is on the left (written on the paint swab).

So this is a lighter orange shade.

The color on the right looks nothing like Sebring Orange. Sebring is already too light, imo, so if they go lighter I don’t think that’s going to look good. Guess we’ll see.

Awesome... Sebring gets very red/muddy in low light. This picture is a perfect example. Looks great in bright sun, but that’s it.

This new orange is very promising!

Can someone put the samples up against a Sebring Orange Corvette and take a photo of that as well?

Really can't tell much from those photos. SO doesn't look anything like what's shown here, so I would assume the new orange doesn't look like this photo, either. Let's see some properly exposed photos of those samples taken in sunlight, and then maybe we'll have some useful information.

What? My SO C7 never looked anything like the swatch on the right.

I agree, it certainly is questionable. I said it looks nothing like Sebring Orange. However, the person that originally posted this on MECF says it is. That's why I made the comment about the lighting and the white balance.

That looks better. The lighter, Mclaren style orange looks great in the sun.

If its lighter I might just be a bit jealous. Hopefully it doesn't have a yellow hue to it like the McLaren orange does. I'm still very happy with my Sebring Orange below:
