Ceramic Gray Metallic
Hi folks, just saw the C8 in ceramic gray metallic at the Indianapolis 500 speedway at a dealer event. I did not like it too much in the C 65 but in this body style it looks off the charts beautiful! I have blade silver orderd but I think I’m going to change to the ceramic gray because I love white and this is a happy medium between the two. It goes from gray metallic to a hint of light blue metallic in the sun it is just gorgeous. What are the thought of other people that have seen it? Thank you

Yeah it is a sharp color for sure...I am waiting on the Z06/Spider to see what I think before making a C8 buy decision but if I do CGM will be on my list along with Blue, Yellow and Orange....those are the four colors I like. BMW has a similar color that I have liked for years to the CG that the C8 now offers...we will see. I agree if you like white cars (I do too), CG is a nice choice...good luck.

I was torn between the ceramic grey and white because I had to order mine without seeing one in person I chose White with red leather. I wish I had seen this thread before the order I may have changed to Ceramic grey.

I hope that Ceramic Gray is going to be seen at a number of dealerships. In the photographs it has had the exact appearance described- from gray to very light blue depending on the sunlight. It appears to be spectacular in a number of shots. However, some have described it as having an almost flat gray, putty-like look. I have never seen that in a photo. I hope we will hear from many more on what they think.

You can still change, its far from being picked up by factory. Haven’t Seen White in person but the ceramic gray is really a beautiful interesting color

It really doesn't look like primer. To me, it's more of a blue/grey tinted white with metallic flake. Pretty color if your preferences fall more on light colors, and you want something a little more "interesting" than white. I guess it's Chevy's attempt to offer a metallic white, but with a little more character. It's a great color for those that like the contrast of the carbon flash trim pieces. 
Now, if you want to talk "primer" colors -
The GT350's offered Avalanche Grey when first introduced, and I really like that shade. It was replaced by a darker shade called Lead Foot Grey which is a great color too. Toyota trucks have a color called "Cement" that's a shade darker, and I like that one as well.
It's all about personal taste. It would be a pretty boring world if we all shared the same taste.
Me? I plan on getting a dark color; Black, Shadow Grey Metallic, or hopefully, something more like the three grey shades I described above if they are ever offered. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the next colors offered isn't a darker, non-metallic grey.
