Maybe this will get you started? https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-sunlight.html

I just did a really quick search; there may be an even better one— just try “red mist” in the search function.

What might work even better is to Google “red mist C8” and then check out “images.” You’ll probably get 100’s of good pix

I intended to order red mist but decided against it even though I intially fell in love with it. The two big reasons I decided against it are;

1) the hundred pictures I saw are all over the board. Some are stunning while many are less than appealing.
2) no interior other than black goes with red mist and given I am not a fan of a completely black interior that too turned me off.

I’ve seen a number of Red Mist C8s in person. To my eye, either the natural or the gray interior complements it beautifully. Honestly I like them both better than black.

I have a Red Mist 3LT with black interior with yellow stitching and yellow seat belts. This is an excellent combo as I am not a fan of black interiors but the yellow stitching and belts really makes the difference for me on the black interior.

It's a beautiful color in all lighting situations.

BUT in direct sunlight it is truly striking.

I agree 100%. I picked mine up yesterday. Every one of the 100 times I went out to look at it the color was doing something different.

You can’t go wrong with Red Mist. I have not had any comments other then the color looks fantastic or love the color.
Had my C8 for one month now. The Red Mist clashing with Adrenaline Red interior is also a myth in my opinion. I have black with red stitching and just the lumbars are red. You have to see it in person taking pictures of the red interior looks brighter then it actually is.

Still working my build...but red Mist is the one thing I'm SURE of. Will probably go with natural interior as well.

I've lost track of the number of people who have raved about the two-tone Natural / Black seats and interior in my Red Mist.

I agree it's hard to tell what it really looks like in photos. I was lucky enough to get to see it in person before ordering, and I couldn't be happier with the color. No other car I've even owned has gotten as many positive comments about its paint color.

Probably would look odd, but if you like it then do what you want. My car was a dealer ordered car for the lot. Torch Red Z51. Only thing I have Edge Red is the optional engine cover. I know its visible in the engine compartment but matches. If I would have ordered it I would have done the calipers in torch red, carbon black wheels and a black spoiler.

Red Mist with black interior, can't go wrong..
Remember the interior will have white stitching which looks awesome.
