Great yellow...and this pic shows just how the C5-7's have instantly become outdated and "quaint looking" with the introduction of the C8. Quite shocking actually.

Maybe I should have said outside, but my car doesn't go out unless it's sunny out. My color is great example also. Cyber Grey looks very normal in pictures and under most inside light. Get it outside in the sun and see all the blue pearl in the paint and you can really appreciate the color.

Yeah, this new yellow sucks. I was planning to order a C8 in yellow with an adrenaline red interior, but not with this new, washed out yellow. Now thinking of torch red with adrenaline interior.

Are you positive those are the same paint codes? I was told they had different paint codes

Yellow is a fun color yet the one that is shown in the first post as a c8 looks green yellow to me..

that is a color I personally not chose..

meanwhile if thats the color yellow for the c8 i hope it sells well especially for the guy inside the corvette team who suggested it..

The top examples are short-bus yellow. This car begs for colors that POP. Like the rapid blue color.

The C6 yellow and the C7 yellow are not mustard color, you may be thinking of the actual race car that is not a production yellow.

May i hope they bring back this yellow. Looks great on the NSX; I bet it would be amazing on the C8.
Really. Forget something?

If it's the same shade of yellow I saw on a few Cameros today, the configurator doesn't show how green it actually is

The 3 at the top appear orange. The new C8 yellow does have s green tint, but it looks cool.

Rapid blue . If you like it, great. It would be my last color choice. I guess that's why choices are good.

I'm not an artist, but it isn't that hard to understand how hue's work. I'm excited they are at least trying some new colors, instead of the same colors we saw on cars 20 years ago.
