I don't think it's for me, but my girlfriend loves the color. Of course, I like the ERay photo much better, but the two don't even look like the same color, which makes me wonder what it actually looks like.

I’ve heard that there are current 2 people that have ordered this color….very popular indeed. They can still change their selection though.

Is Silver Flare Metallic a loser because it's on a $28,000 EV?

I was there and really liked it. My choice on an Eray with the natural interior. I would choose a different color for a Z06, needs to be more of a bolder color on Z.

No, however it could be considered a loser because only 922 C8 buyers out of 25,831 sold chose it thus coming in #11 out of the 12 C8 colors offered. Only Caffeine finished lower in paint selection for the 2022 model.

To each their own of course, but personally I find it totally BLAH on a sportscar. Can't even imagine an interior color that will look good with it.
Kinda a shame considering all the exciting and vibrant high metallic green possibilities.

Don’t like the color much, but, I Don’t think the corvette is easy to find a great color for even though most colors are pretty good on the car.

it’s a great looking shape with few colors that improve it.

From what I am seeing in the pictures I would say if I was there looking at this car, I certainly would not call it beautiful. Somebody will buy it.
I have had Black, Red, Silver, and Metallic blue coming soon, I would not that car.
