We all know that Torch Red is by far the most popular color for the C8, at 25% overall. But 2nd Place goes to...Arctic White.

My last Corvette Convertible was Arctic White. And I swore never again. However, the more I see photos of the C8, in both Silver Flare, and Arctic White, I'm leaning towards White.

My wife says any color is fine, as long as it's NOT Red.

Previously my decision was etched in stone...Silver Flare Metallic. But now having second thoughts. It would be great to see these colors in person. But living in The Republic Of Texas makes that a challenge as there are no large dealers here with any inventory.

So...are there Arctic White fans here, maybe in the "closet"?

Let me know!

 

My last Corvette was a c7 Z06 in arctic white with adrenaline red interior. It was easy to keep clean and really show the lines of the car. I also said never white again. Like you my wife is okay with MOST colors, but doesn’t want a red vette again. I was torn between silver flare and Elkhart lake and have chosen blue this time. Although the C8 in white still looks great! Hmmmmmm....

 

Here you go. Mine enjoyed now for just over a year and on the road again after winter. Built 02/20/2020. AW/AR 2LT GT2 Two-Tone, Spectra Gray Wheels, Red Calipers, and NPP.

 

Curious, why are the wives opposed to RED ?

 

Hey! You got my car!

 

The 2020 C8 is such a major change to all previous Corvettes I wanted mine to look like the first ever Classic 1953 C1 build with white exterior and red interior although not a vert. Mission accomplished.

 

Not just wives. If I won a red C8 I'd sell it in a heart beat.

 

 

White and red interior is a classic combo and very popular. My C7 was this exact combo with a lot of carbon flash trim. I liked it. But I did sometimes feel in bright sunlight the lines of the car are blurred out, and there are just a lot of white cars on the road. This time I put in an order for Elkhart Lake Blue, but Red Mist is really a close second and I may switch.

 

Many nuances to color selection, not everything is black and white

 

White with a red interior is a great color combo. I had two '79s and a '95 with that color combo and all were good looking cars.

 

I agree. Thought my C4 Ragtop looked very good in AW. But the interior was gray...a total buzz kill for me.

 

Funny I visit MM quite often and hardly ever see a white C8 maybe 1 or 2. All I see is Red and Blue with a mixture of other colors.

 

AW would be my color as well.....(a bit biased....every Corvette I have had has been white....a '68, '87, '65, '08). Pic from my "library" of photos I collect of C8s for use when time comes to order. Artic White with Morello Red interior, thank you very much!

 

Flashy/Trashy Men's color.

You every notice what color Vehicles most women choose to Drive. If you guessed "White" you would be right.

Reasons why I went with Artic White,.
White absorbs less Heat. It's hot and humid where I live.
It appeals to women. They can visualize themselves in car.
It's the most visible color on the road, night or Day (Stands Out).

 

Wow! In that case, I guess most women don’t like Ferrari’s either!

 

I like the way white looks but here in the Bay Area I’d be swimming in a sea of white cars driven by my fellow Asians. Seems like every other car is white out here. Personally, I like the C8 in red, but white with red interior is a great combo.

 

You might wish to consider CMGM (Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic). My wife and I were hoping the Orange would have similar style and class as Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic (C6) and Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic (C7). We had one of each and really liked them. Sadly, the C8 orange just didn’t make it. We considered all colors except black and red, and finally settled on CMGM, and really like it. Like white you can select any interior for CMGM.

I was surprised how many people have gone out of their way to look at, and compliment the color. The color definitely runs toward blue, but definitely isn’t blue.

Don’t want to confuse the issue, but white is just white and silver, silver.

Good luck!

 

So my previous Corvettes (1999 and 2005) were/are Magnetic Red. Since that wasn't available for 2020, I decided to go with my favorite interior color: Adrenaline Red. Since I think it looks best with Artic White, that's what I got. Must say it's hard to look at in full sun as the white is so bright.

Curious to those who had white before, but now say "never again." Why?

TR, White and Black are perennially the most popular colors for Corvettes.
