Default Arctic White C8

Hi guys, if anyone has legit pictures of the arctic white C8 would you please post them. All the pictures I have seen except for one have been the ceramic gray. I have a very close connection to GM that said the white car in the reveal in Los Angeles was the arctic white. I’m trying to decide between the ceramic gray or the Arctic white because the arctic white always looks bright and pretty and the ceramic gray is beautiful in the sun but in the shade more of a flatter color but still ok. Thanks for your help

Ceramic Grey, bears no resemblance to Arctic White.

I took this myself, VERY similar to arctic white, also the one you see at the concourse driving on the grass is ceramic, VERY similar to arctic white. In the sun, mistaken frequently.

Yes, it was just recently that we are seeing Arctic White. Initially the white appearing C8's were actually Ceramic Matrix.

The ceramic is much lighter than I expected it to be.

Took these at Hendricks Motorsports and the Bloomington Gold Corvette show this last weekend. IT's definitely white. It could also be the same one that was at Barrett Jackson from what I can see. I understand that it is VIN #001

Artic white is stunning. Go for it.

What color interior are you thinking of?

the blue two tome shown with the polished wheels is stunning.

They're also both current C7 colors, so might be worth taking a trip to a dealer to see them in person. It's possible you could even see them side-by-side if you went to the right dealer?

You’re welcome. My C7 was Arctic White so I’m a fan, it looks beautiful in this color. To change things up I’m going Sebring Orange this time around.

The Barret Jackson was #001 so they are the same car.

Ceramic Gray looks like Arctic White when viewed alone, when you see them side by side the difference is plainly obvious. The photo posted by CRABBYJ illustrates this well (thank you for finding these photos.) Here’s another shot from that same photo shoot by Kerbeck Corvette which dramatically illustrates the point:
