Default C7 2019 New Gray Color coming?

I heard from my local Vette dealer that a new gray is coming out at the end of this month has anyone heard about this and any details on the color? I really miss the Shark Gray color wish they would bring that one back.

Not for 2019 soonest would be on a 2020.
My dealer said they didn't hear that. The current WGG is an amazing gray
and is very high on the list in sales numbers on all C7's.

They would be nuts to change it but I have one so doesn't hurt me. But it would be a not so smart decision IMO!

WGG is going away sometime in May, IIRC. Nate from Van Bortel had a thread on it at one time

I love my WGGM. Everyone comments on the color.

Just got another compliment on mine as I was pulling out of the dealership after having a seat control panel replaced (broken by a detailer when he kneeled on it). Guy had ordered a ZR1, and was hoping he got his in before they phase out the WGGM.

I agree that WGGM is an awesome color but it is a little too dark for me and the Blade Silver too light. I couldn't wait any longer for a new gray so I ordered an Admiral Blue and I am doing a copy of the Grand Sport Heritage Edition with a custom white stripe and custom painted heat extractor vent to match. It should look bada$$ when its done but again I was torn between this build and ordering the WGGM! Beautiful cars thanks for the pictures.

I have to admit I like this color a lot better than Black for cleaning reasons and it still gives that stealth look!

I've always owned black cars. When I purchased my Z06 I researched WGGM as I was tired of the black car maintenance. WGGM is awesome to keep clean, very easy. It can look black at times, but sets off the carbon flash accents and sparkles in the sunlight. Maybe the new gray is going to be very close to the WGGM. I have no regrets and am very happy with the WGGM.

You'll be able to see all the 2019 colors at the Bash in BG starting next week. Then the moaning and complaining will start again. LOL. Buy a Torch Red like I did. I've never seen a CF dispute on it.

I would like to see a color shifting gray between this

And this

I love the shark gray as it changes so dramatically with light. Like Goldilocks WGG too dark. SGM is too light. Middle would be PERFECT. And has to be metallic.
