My car at a show yesterday. AO is BY FAR the best color overall, and pictures mess with it's in person beauty. It's exotic looking and very eye catching.
Any more pics of it in sunlight? Still trying to get a better appreciation of how it looks in bright light. I saw it in overcast skies and it looked good but that didn't seem to bring out its true color. Your C8 looks nice. I'm sure it drew a crowd at the show.

someone posted a pic of my car from a cars and coffee event last week. Similar angle. Lol

AO looks different in direct sunlight, overcast, and night time, but one thing is true you can't capture its true color with a camera.
So how would you describe it in those various lighting conditions? You're right, a camera doesn't seems to be able to capture the true color of it.
Never looks washed out to me, in direct sunlight looks true orange, in overcast sometimes it looks like a muted or pastel orange with a hint of peach color, at night it looks like a darker orange. All my cars have been white, black, or dark gray. I wanted something unique. AO is a beautiful color that not many will have.
Congrats!!! I'm sure you're really pumped about getting it. Any pics you can share of it yet?
There are now!

I like the description that Bruce, my courtesy delivery salesman, gave when complimenting my color choice. It's not that it changes color, but that in direct sunlight the color POPS. The best I can describe it is that in shadow in looks like a ripe orange, like in the above pictures which were taken under the overhang at the dealership. However in bright, direct sunlight it turns into an almost tangerine orange, very bright by not washed out.
You can see it in this picture. The top of the car under bright, direct sun is a lighter shade of orange. But where the bodywork creates shadow the hue shifts to a deeper orange.

Great pics and beautiful car!!! Really helps me get a better idea of what AO is all about in the sunshine. I was hoping it would really pop and this kind of confirms it does. I'm thinking AO could be in my build.
I thought about picking a convertible version up last week, drove three hours to see it. While my wife LOVED it and wanted me to buy it, I just kept thinking "McLaren". Which of course is not an insult but just not "Corvette". Don't get my wrong, it was spectacularly stunning, but just way too much "in your face" for me. I'm not super conservative, we've owned 20-something Corvettes including an orange C3 and a DSOM C6Z06, but this color just didn't work for me. OK, maybe I'm weird but kudos to those who get one!
Unedited pics of my AO next to my buddy’s AY On an overcast day. I have been very happy with AO and I’ve found that it never looks “washed out” in person, just in some pics.
