Cactus Green
 
The cactus green looks lamer in videos on yotube than all the press pictures, what does the green look so much darker in real life?

Fishfryer527 05-01-2023 03:20 PM

I hope to never see that color in real life, but I guess it’s better than another variation on gray or silver.

GM is trying to offer choices other than the standard gray scale from white to black, silvers, and red or blues. I give em credit for that. I don't like it either but I'll reserved judgement until I can see it in real life. I thought I didn't like ELB until I saw it in real life.

Supposedly many who have seen this in person really either loved it or disliked it.

for a low volume color that’s not too shabby.

I like the convertible z06 in cacti with the black roof and nacelles for a 3 year lease

It's better than any brown...

I was at the Bash last week when they unloaded this car.

I was sitting on the bench behind it at the Bash and I would say that it was 80% liked it and 20% didn't

C8 needs a krypton green from the camaro, that would look bad ass.

RedTRex 05-04-2023 06:13 AM

Cool color. Wheels would look better without a machined edge.

Cratchet 05-04-2023 12:13 PM

I'm going to order that color on my E-Ray. Kinda like Ceramic Matrix Grey Metallic only with a green tint.

That's exactly how I described it to my girlfriend!

She's a sucker for those types of colors and is of the opinion that Cacti will appeal to more women buyers than to men.


John510 05-05-2023 11:33 AM

Is it metallic or just like a green tinted Nardo gray like the Toyotas have?

RJ-92 05-05-2023 11:57 AM

This color is amazing. I'll be ordering mine Cacti with a red dipped interior to guarantee making my car a 1 of 1.

Interesting observation as form posts have been ~90% negative!

Funny that was my "Initial Choice." But like I did with my C6 Z51, 2014 Z51, 2017 GS and C8 Z51(although with all what I call Safety Vest "Look at Me" colors I limited the choices) let wife, two daughters and 4 granddaughters' comment and suggest.

Both daughters independently said looks like Christmas! So I sent pics with Artemis Interior. All far preferred.

Pic on both Compter screens but looks like it will be Artemis

I think it’s awesome too. Just not sure I would be so enamored some time down the road.

I hope we see a lot of them on the road.

agreed, i like the color but really want to see one in person…

C8-Muttering-Mutt 05-14-2023 05:35 PM

Now, in these photos, I like it, it looks good and direct sunlight

JerriVette 05-14-2023 11:50 PM

Stunning for those that want a really unique sophisticated corvette

Raj1981 05-15-2023 12:21 PM

Not so impressed with this color, I would rather go with red mist or accelerated yellow or torch red or rapid blue. I thought GM would provide acid like green but maybe they reserved that color for zora

Hardest time I had with picking options for my C8 was color! Of my 5 prior Vettes 3 where red so wanted something different. Frist thought "Accelerate Yellow" might be it, had Velocity Yellow C6 we liked. But Accelerate Yellow reminds me of a "Safety Vest Must See Me Yellow." Was afraid they would add a similar very bright green. :cheers:

The C8 is a big car NOT a small cute Miata. Fun bright colors look good on a small kitten BUT not a Main Coon!
