New 2015 C7 colors announced
According to Corvette Blogger interview with Kirk Benion, Corvette Exterior Manager... CGM and VY is nixed for 2015. Too bad CGM is gone but the new C7 looks good in all colors. In comes the replacements with official names TBA sooner or later. The new yellow is supposed to be a brighter shade.
Personally, and to each their own of course, as for the new gray... I really like it! This new hue slots in-between the darker Cyber Gray and the lighter Blade Silver. It looks closer to the lighter silverish side of the spectrum. Anyway, IMHO it's still a winner for sure. It also looks great on the Z06 since it contrasts well with the new added functional bits we saw on the Z06 reveal. Source and more pics here: http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2014/...lors-for-2015/ |

That's a shame about Velocity Yellow. I've never been a yellow fan till VY! It is (was) my favorite C7 color.

I am hoping for Sunrise Yellow but my interpretation of reports indicate the likely Chevy choice will be the Bright Yellow available now in the Camaro.

I like VY much better than the Camaro yellow. VY has a lot of warmth to it. It looks exotic.

I really was having a hard time deciding what color to get. Now I know. That grey color is amazing.

That new grey would be my choice for a DD. Fast cars like the Z06 already stand out enough without going bright red or yellow.

Sorry the light gray looks like a much less exciting version of silver.
This car looks exotic therefore it should have an exotic color, IMO.

Are the color's standard for all 2015 Corvettes? Will the Z06/Z07 be available in those hues ?
