Looks like quite a bit of blue in it now....but pics definitely seem to pick up different hues in a color.

I'm going to have to see one in-person. It looks promising, though!

Photos are many time nothing like it in-person...….SO isn't at all like the photos on-line versus in-person.

Until then I'll reserve judgment.

Meanwhile, all I have is photos.

Here are more photos from Furman's Facebook page. Looks darker without direct sun. Seems like a great color for the C7.

I like it and think it will compliment the C7 lines. I think it will look good with red calipers. I didn’t like red so much on the WGG.

That is a really nice color with the blue hues to it. I agree with another post above, I wish they would release that Elkhart blue already so we can all see it on a Z06.

Grey or Gray mean the exact same thing and both are correct spelling.

It's neither grey or gray. The greys, the silvers, "steel"... all variations of primer color. No thanks.

And either way, the color looks good.

It is Shadow blue grey! Why get rid of WGG which should have been kept. Number 2 seller on the Z06 to white by 3 cars in 2017 They should have just added the new color.

I haven't seen her in person yet but according to Mike Furman, he can't find any orange peel anywhere.

Looks good to me! But I would call it more blue than gray going by the photos. But so what, it looks very good. I think they should have kept a pure gray though for those who go in for that color.
