I would be all over that green. The purple is striking also.

Agree 100%. While I get most people want RED, WHITE, BLACK, BLUE....give the rest of us an option for some nicer color options. I mean how hard can it be to change the colors in the booths? Since they can do just in time assembly, modernize and do just in time painting and offer more color options.

Oh, but they've provided us (counting 70th anniversary colors) two varieties of each of those colors along with 20 different shades of grey and one or two colors only 10 people in the entire world want! What more could you possibly ask for? [sarcasm]

That would explain it.

Seriously though, they need to offer some more interesting colors. I'd love to see a render of the C8 in Porsche's Python Green or a non-metallic Purple.

I’d take any of these over the existing color palette Chevy offers. Amazing car with less than mediocre color choices.

I love that Green! Yellow calipers look especially nice with the green. If you don't mind me asking, what rendering software do you use? Thanks!

Ironically I'm not using typical photo editing software. I'm using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to generate the images for me; based on inputs I feed it.

Cool, is it a commercially available AI application?

I'm more a boring black, silver, red guy, but it would be really good for the brand if GM would use some wild, vivid exciting colors like the ones shown in this thread. Would bring more young blood in.

I'm "older" but have always been a huge fan of less than popular colors. Probably why I got a yellow C8.

I would trade my yellow for the green or purple tomorrow; assuming they are close to my renders.

Anyone like the gunmetal colors? They have like a dark tint. Adding that dark tint to any of these colors I think is cool.

It's funny how everyone talks about how they copied Ferrari. Well I wish they would have copied Lamborghini, Porsche and BMW colors.
Gotta say the same for the wheels too.
