They are off the shelf “Brembo” brake caliper colors, not GM spec. It is what it is.

So, with mine being built last week I’m looking into having my calipers powder coated once she arrives. I can either powder coat to match Amplify Orange or match the Brembo Orange. I actually like the darker Orange calipers next to the bright Amplify Orange, but here’s the kicker: no one has a color code or PMS# for the Brembo brake colors!

Almost 3 years after starting this thread, I finally get to contribute. Took delivery of my ‘24 Amplify Orange C8 Z06 on Thursday. Love the color.

Thank you! It is a rare one indeed - in 2022 only 7 of 25,000 Corvette's had this combo..... AND they are complimentary colors on the color wheel
