Default Roswell green?

I'm thinking about ordering a 2026 convertible but want to do it soon so I can get one before the driving season ends. My wife and I had settled on blue but I might switch to Roswell Green but the boss wants to see one first to approve or nix it. If anyone hears about a Roswell Green car near Indy please let me know. The pictures just don't help. For instance the yellow on my computer monitor via Chevy.com looks beautiful but when you see the actual vehicle, not the same. Thanks!

I'm not in the market for a C8, but I am absolutely considering painting one of my C5s in Roswell Green once I see one in person. I had a Synergy Green Camaro in 2011, and pictures did not do it justice. It looked infinitely better in person.

Grandfather has a 1948 Chevy truck painted in Synergy Green. Perfect color.

Roswell green will look good. Too many people nitpick colors. Anything but boring grayscale on a sports car.

agree with the comments, cars, all cars, shouldn't be boring colors... that said, if momma will let me write a big check on a c8 then I guess she should be able to approve the color...

Count me in on a 26z order for Roswell. Definitely need to see it on a car or video first. Hopefully someone posts it here.

I’d have to see it in person before judging. Especially ordering one.

Having spent 23 years with nothing but green, I'm not a fan of it although it looks good on old British sports cars.

Although I appreciate and respect GM for bringing out Roswell green, I think it will always remain a 50/50 type of color and people will either love it or hate it. I do like it but not sure if I could live with it long-term but I could change my mind. I think this new green is a strong and aggressive color which is a good thing. I like it with darker wheels. I think it'll be a unique color and maybe worth trying out because it's not something you'll see or expect often, especially on a Corvette.
