Default Official Lime Rock Green Metallic thread

To compliment the other official color threads, here's the Lime Rock Green Metallic version.

I decided to get a first-year C7 specifically because of this color, and I am not at all disappointed. It is very stunning, especially in bright sunlight. Although it also takes on a sinister quality when it's not popping.

And I think it's the best color for the Brownstone interior.

The only "down side" to this color for me is that I like it to look great, so I spend a lot more time making it look good than I did with my '09 Cyber Gray coupe.

Lime Rock Green looks awesome! I have yet to see the color in person. Is it brighter than the Polo Green Metallic that was offered on the C4s?

Those pictures were taken after a complete treatment at Adam's. See this thread. Now that it's done, it's fairly easy to keep it looking like that.

I typically don't lock in on green cars but I'm smitten by this color. I can't seem to get enough of looking at it and, as you said, the Brownstone interior matches beautifully with it. As much as I love women, it would be a tough choice between looking at a C7 in this color combo or a beautiful woman standing near it. I'd probably wear my neck out.

Limerock Green Convertible with 3LT Kalahari interior at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Very nice.

Beautiful LRG C7's... absolutely nice & classy... and still sporty too!

A few pics I took from the Stingray Precision event - PBIR... a standard C7 still looks just as sharp in LRG.

I'm not buying a C7 right now but, if I were, it would be this color with the tan leather seating. What a classic combination. I'm glad GM decided to bring this back.

I love the roof line of the convertible. I wish GM would build the hi-po model as a fixed roof coupe with the convertible shape. Like they did with the C5 Z06.

I am conflicted about which top color would look best with a Brownstone int. on the convertible. I am not sure the Kalahari soft top would go well with the Brownstone. Maybe Black? It will not be up much so it might not matter.

I don't see many green cars, and the popularity seems to come and go, but on the C7 this looks amazing!
