    Torch Red looks to be quite polarizing: the most popular color rejected by the plurality. We'll see how this plays out.

      I chose red because it's way too common/flashy, and more importantly, Corvette 'Torch' has too much orange in it for my taste...not a true rich red.

      But as we're always saying, color choice is personal and subjective preference. To each their own.
      '64 Silver Gray Coupe (custom paint)- still our favorite
      '13 White/Blue Diamond 427 60th roadster - ( wonderful )
      Several others including two C7's
      '20... Zeus Bronze Coupe, ( GAME CHANGER )
      '24... Hypersonic Gray Coupe - 2LT, Black GT2, MSRC, Body color vents, Stealth int. trim, Q90 Satin granite wheels

        I choose black because of the second full time job of cleaning it. My C7 was also Black...

          The accelerate yellow looks too green for me. I would have chosen the Yellow if it was brighter and without that tinge. I love my torch red.

          Orange was a very close second choice followed by blue.

          A friend had a Camaro in blue and I associated that blue with Camaro, so it was a no go for that reason.

            As much as I like YELLOW, the shade offered on the C8 just isn't my favorite. I sure wish Corvette offered a series of 'bright' in your face colors as the Euro exotics make available. In my opinion. this is a sports car and it does not need to be camouflaged in a color that 'blends in' with everything else on the road. Overall, I don't think there is a color offered that doesn't look good on it.....

                Lots of different opinions here. I could ramble volumes to my opinion of all the colors. In my ramblings I may distract from one color and while retracting a previous statement pertaining to that specific color or I may have a positive thought to a previous negative comment on a color.See what I mean by ramblings. Where's JB when I need him. The bottom line is we all have our specific tastes and actually there are no colors that are the wrong color for the C8 Corvette.

                  My favorite color is blue in all things ( I have a blue Gibson guitar,es335) the Rapid Blue and I’ve seen it , is much to close to grabber blue and petty blue form me but as long as there are other blues to have on my C8 I prefer, those colors. I prefer a metallic tint also .My C7 is Laguna Blue tint coat, I loved Night race Blue and honestly had NRB and a HTO interior been a choice that would have been my first choice .... for me.

                    Certainly the C8 will look great in any color but since you are asking the Rapid Blue for me is not on the list of my top favorite colors. I actually prefer to see more exotic colors like the Zeus Bronze. I have always liked the candy color shades the best and I am hoping to see if the new Red Mist will be as rich looking as I think it will be.

                      I was ordered to buy red by the boss. As stated above, there are no bad colours. I love the look of black, but it gets way too hot, is too hard to keep clean and looks too much like the road and is vulnerable to being Unseen by yocals not paying attention.

                        The yellow seems a bit off to me. Although admittedly, I haven’t seen it in person so I don’t really know. That being said, if my dealer said I could have a C8 today with my original options (I ordered red 1LT) at MSRP in yellow (or any color) I would take it in a heartbeat.

                          This Yellow looks weird to my eyes. So, I chose that. Love the looks of black but won't subject myself to it again.

                            If only GM could have had a AYM last August at both Carlisle and NCM the week after as 5,000+ of us caravaners arrived there, I believe its sales would have been much higher. We might have bought it if we could have seen it in person, but lacking that we just could not take a chance (we so loved our Velocity Yellow C7).

                              I come from a car club where all the youngsters enjoyed taking their grey cars, removing anything with a shine, color match the bumpers in grey, tint the windows and were extremely proud of their solid grey cars. I told them, "I live in the Ohio Valley and from November to mid-March your car blends into the skyline. Don't you want me to see your car coming?"

                              I can't do any shade of grey. But I LIKE the black cars, as long as they're clean. LOL
