Exactly ! Metallic colors all change and give different looks. There have been comments about every one of them.

PASS on this new color.
Color is subjective. If this were a 2021 color I’d have gotten it. It’s like asking which woman is the prettiest. It’s all opinion. I personally thought their SG was pretty fugly with the weird other color tint on a gray.

P.S . I took the color blind test above. Got them all correct. The hint of green I saw wasn't (in my opinion) a negative observation; it's just letting folks know that there are some who will see hints of green, at least under certain lighting conditions. Looking forward to seeing these in the wild.

We all see colors differently in general, not sure why folks are so offended if HSG does of hints of green. I ordered HSG and am bummed cause I was hoping it would look similar to the Camaro’s Steel Grey. Not much I can do about it now but embrace the beauty of HSG!

Looks amazing to me. Are you happy with it? Like the red seats? Would you change anything?

I've see HG in sun, overcast and under a tent lighting conditions, and not even a hint of green to my eye.

i saw the red at a car show, not on the hsg but on the shadow gray and didn’t love it. It was my first choice, but now thinking of Morello red. Anyone have any thoughts on that combo?

As the new Hypersonic Gray just became available for the 2022 C8 it is possible that nobody yet has customized and received this color with the Adrenaline Red interior color.
If you would like to see how these two color combination will look like I suggest to go to Chevrolet.com and build a new C8 exactly how you would like it with the colors you choose'
To assist you more I just customized a 2022 C8 with Adrenaline Red interior, hope you like them:

I love the Morello but it only comes in the 3LT and its too much red with the seats, carpet and dash. I wish they just made it with the seats and console like a 2LT. I had a silver 1998 C5 that had a firethorn red interior (which is more like Morello). It was a great combo .

Thanks John, I've already built the car on the chevy site. I was hoping for a real picture. I thought I read that someone just took delivery of a HSG with 2 tone interior (red/black)

If you find him just request some pictures, it will be nicer pictures to see the whole car and see the interior with the door open as your suggested.

All I know is that I am so damn excited to get mine!! I swapped color choices from Artic White after planning on wrapping the car either Mamba Green or Nardo Grey

HSG, LT2, AR two-tone interior, Z51, Mag Ride, front lift, high wing, and every available carbon fiber option.

If anyone receives theirs with two tone interior please please post pics!! The AR previously posted helps a ton
