Official Caffeine Brown Thread
Only post in this thread if brown is your favorite color. This is a thread for the true connoisseur, and not those with common tastes.

I saw the release info today, and may be leaning that way now. It looks beautiful, and as I’m in the market for a 2019 CVO Limited (Harley) now and specifically looking for the Bourbon Brown edition I would love to add the Caffeine C8 next year.
Up til now I was leading towards either Rapid or EL blue. Finally got to see one in person (Rapid Blue 2021 HTC), and drive it, and it surpassed my expectations considerably - what an awesome design they created.

They had a color close to that in 2016 on new Silverado's when I was shopping for one. There was one on a dealer lot that sat there for a very long time. They had a huge discount on it and it still sat on the dealer lot for quite a while. I considered buying it as I really didn't mind the color and I would have saved several thousand dollars. but after thinking about the resale value, I chose a different color and paid quite a bit more for it. That is the only one I have ever seen that color so it must not have been too popular. I can't imagine they will sell a lot of corvettes that color, I know I wouldn't buy one.

Looking forward to seeing it in real life, full car not just panel or picture.
I am guessing, like many colors, they can change when the light hits them bringing out the curves of the car and the reflection gives it its unique look and vibe. So for now, I will reserve my opinion.

I'd need to see the panel in the sun... so far it has a lot of red undertones and I'm not a fan at all.

I guess they feel the need for truly "odd" colors to satisfy the "1% r's"

Against the new caffeine brown, Zeus bronze no longer looks very brown at all now does it.

Have to see it in the sun, but I can't think of a worse color in Corvette history. Nothing screams I puked after drinking whiskey, beer, and two wine coolers like this.... Hopefully it's better in person.
