Can someone look at webcam 8 on the https://www.corvettemuseum.org/explore/web-cams/ page and let me know if that looks like rapid or ELB? Looks sorta in between, so I can't tell.

Thanks to both of you! Anyone disagree? I'm getting NCM delivery of my Rapid Blue in a few weeks and was trying to see what it would look like on the webcam.

Just look at the blvd cam, if it were rapid blue it would be glowing, it looks pretty dark on that one. It's ELB.

Yeah the corvette boulevard view makes it more clear. The direct view coloring seems way off.

Two (identical?) yellow and a grey on Corvette Boulevard right now. Coloring seems pretty off though.

The colors have been inaccurately portrayed by those cameras for years. I don't know if it's the lighting in that hall or the cameras themselves.

Those 3 are the C8R IMSA GTLM Championship Edition cars, which is a limited production option for MY 2022. The yellow is a tribute to the #3 Corvette Racing Team car, and silver is the #4 car.

The lighting is far from natural light, and the web cams just don't have the correct white balance for the lighting.

Can someone look at delivery bay 4. It’s hard to see on my phone, but do they have ORANGE calipers? Or are they red and the camera coloring is off?

Just got down to my computer. Definitely red. Eyes were playing tricks on me this morning I guess.

The build in orange with orange calipers looked awesome though, even though it wasn’t real.
