'14 C7 is Arctic White and the C8 is CMG. In the sun, CMG shows slight blueish gray. In artificial light, CMG looked 'whiter' than the Arctic White, in my opinion.

CMG is the most under rated color IMO. I had a white/red C7 Z07 and loved it. But now I would def choose CMG over white this time.

Absolutely beautiful. Fantastic job and my favorite exterior color for a C8. Anxiously awaiting my HTC C8 with Morello Red Dipped interior. Congratulations on your C8!

CMG kind of grew on me over time. Initially, when I saw the CMG next to a White C8, the CMG looked like a white car that needed a bath, kinda dingy and dirty version of white. However, when you see the CMG alone, it looks great. It's an acquired taste. lol

No right answer. I liked the crisp AW over CMG when I saw both in person, but there are fans of both. A buyer should buy what THEY like.

This reminds me of "Mineral White" on our old BMW.... it is a metallic that looks white in most light, but when there is snow on it, it is clearly a grey color... very subtle, and not something most people would notice.... just a little spin on the old washing-machine.... you can use any interior that looks good on a pure white car...
