Default New Riptide Blue

The new Riptide Blue color for 2024 is amazing in the sun and the shade. It’s slightly lighter than the current ELB and has lots of gold and silver undertones (at least IMO)! I am ordering this beautiful and more Corvette traditional blue when my allocations comes up later this year. And BTW there are lots of Z06’s on the BG assembly line today!!!

Riptide Blue and Seawolf Grey are both great paint colors.

I like both Riptide Blue and Seawolf Gray as well. Multiple photos of the new colors on the E-Ray. Close up photos showing the tint/metallic on Corvette Blogger.

I love it, leaning towards this now. GM needs to make orange calibers available without the stupid ceramic brakes, such BS to have them tied to those

Seawolf grey looks like shiny primer to me.
