Default Roswell Green Interior Thoughts

Hello. Today I was at my local dealer speccing a 2026 Z06 in Roswell Green. I’d like to highlight the car with orange brake calipers (this requires carbon ceramic brakes) and Sky Cool and Medium Ash Gray with Habanero accents as the interior. However, this interior is not available with the Roswell green metallic without an override. I’m guessing Chevy doesn’t agree with me that this combination would work.

Thoughts?

I think that interior color would look good with Roswell.

For me, I would do the natural. Either the two tone natural/black or the dipped.

The Dark Atmosphere with tan seatbelts and bronze calipers would look good.

Um... will GM accept without an override if you change the Habanero accents and/ or brake caliper color?
The sky/ash interior looks okay to me as I envision a Rosewell green exterior.

FWIW
I am no style expert, so I ask, is a green shirt with a gray suit fashionable?

I've been wondering this same question. I too am thinking hard about getting Roswell Green but not sure what to do for interior. Not a big fan of yellow, so would go with orange accents like you're thinking. Orange is a go with green in my opinion. I think that medium ash interior would look good on it. I also agree with above that the very dark atmosphere would probably be a great look, but I want to see this in person.

Thank you for the feedback. Having not seen the color in person, it’s tough to imagine what it might look like.

I also don’t want to build something that when I show up to drive it home, I realize I made a mistake.

As for the override fee, at this point, it is a nonissue. $695 isn’t going to break the bank.

Here are color combinations that Chevy recommends, that include Sky Cool Grey, but not Sky Cool Grey with Medium Ash Grey and Habanero accents

While the configurator is not available yet, I tried to put the colors down using a competitor and this is what I came up with trying to mimic Roswell Green with orange brake calipers and Sky Cool and Medium Ash Gray with Habanero accents interior.

Either full natural dipped luxury style, or the grey w/ orange stitch and then coordinate w/ orange calipers and belts.

Roswell Green looks very similar to the "Vivid Green" on the Lotus Evora GT I recently bought. Lotus is now offering a similar color on the Emira for 2026, which is called EOS Green, and you can spec it with an "Ice Gray" interior. I know Lotus offered a several different interior options and caliper colors. Maybe you can play around with the Emira configurator to get an idea of what your desired combo would look like?

Lotus configurator here: https://configurator.prd.configurato...ra/emira-v6-se

Here's my 'Vivid Green' Evora GT...looks pretty similar to Roswell (and they both match my leaf blower!) :p


Here's the EOS Green Emira from Goodwood:

So I did it. I put my deposit down January 29, 2026 and was placed on a wait list. I ended up getting an allocation in February; Status 3000 February 18; 3300 March 12; 3800 March 31.

Next Saturday I take delivery of the car in New Hampshire. I will drive it 3,000+ miles to get her home in St George, Utah.

I plan to take her through the Finger Lakes, then Niagara Falls, Chicago, Mount Rushmore, BearTooth highway (if they get it opened in time), then Moab and on to the scenic byway 12 eventually pulling into my driveway.

I can’t wait.

The build will not be to everyone’s liking but I think it turned out great.

I personally went with Roswell Green Metallic/ Dark Atmosphere/ grey calipers. I plan on painting the calipers candy purple (like label's SEMA build)

Love the sky cool grey, but feared that i would get it dirty often. I love the dark atmosphere, and has been well recieved at car shows also.

Didnt find out until after that you can have them added pre-delivery at the option coast without paying for labor.
