Arctic White has a blue tint to it. You only really see it when parked next to other white vehicles.
Great color. Had it on my C6 and C7 but wanted a change on my C8.

Here they are

My C7 ZO6 was Arctic White. My 70th Anniversary ZO6 is WPM.

Both great colors. I do like the WPM better.

It’s just white almost the same white as my GMC truck only GMC calls it Summit white. As others have said the Arctic white has a higher gloss to it verses my truck. Both shine up nice when waxed.

Arctic white on my C8 looked the same as on my C6 GS. I think you may be referring to Ceramic Matrix Gray as the white with a blue tint to it.

Yes ceramic matrix has a slight blue hue to it under direct sun. Some people thought it was a very light gray and some people call the color white. So it's like 3 colors in one.

I have ceramic matrix on my C8Z. My C7Z is arctic white. I can post a pic of them next to each other to show the difference but i'm sure there's tons of pics online that will show the comparison.

I once bought a quart of Artic White paint at an auto body store for touch ups. I watched them mix "pure white" with a small drop of dark blue. That's what gives it the color of freshly fallen snow. So, it does have a very light tint of blue in it.

Ceramic Matrix Gray is a completely different color.

Never knew that. All my old eyes see is bright white.
