It's a matter of opinion but Hypersonic looks nothing like Sea Wolfe, one has a lot of green tint and the other is like a Nardo Grey. Also you can't replace Black with Carbon Flash, Black is one of the staple colors and not everyone wants a sparkly paint.

That Riptide blue with the yellow accents looks good! I am so torn on what color I want to go with on a 24. It's probably going to come down to a "day of" decision. I agree with you that they made a huge mistake with how many shades of gray they have. I still want to see the Cacti color in person before I bash it too much. I've been watching for one of the local dealers around me to get a Traxx in because you can order that same Cacti color on that vehicle.

Sea Wolf Grey looks good, but I personally would go with Riptide as I'm a big fan of blue cars. I think Riptide would look really good. And if you're not able to change the grills and boomerangs to black, you can always get them wrapped or painted yourself. But I think you're making the right choice. The blue and yellow looks amazing.

Agree with you concerning the silver/gray colors. As far as the new colors, having seen them in person at the Bash, the Seawolf reminds me of gloss 'primer' (not a fan); cacti - WTF GM (enough said); Riptide blue is a good choice for your E-Ray. Riptide is lighter than the ELB it is replacing. Certainly agree with you that a green should be offered. The 2014 green was smashing.

My choice is Sea Wolf Gray. Some of these colors, I believe are E-ray only colors especially Sea Wolf Gray & Cacti. I like Riptide Blue except that it is a color being offered on the Equinox. Owning a $125k E-ray that is the same color as an Equinox does not bode well with me. I agree to wait on the front splitter for after market designs.

Like you, I like the idea of yellow belts with yellow brake calipers (maybe not with Cacti, though) But I personally find black interiors to be very boring. Very ordinary and too common. I don't like the new blue much.... It doesn't seem very different from the Elkhart lake blue. I agree that there are too many grayscale options.

I love your picks! I’m crushing hard on the Sea Wolf Gray! It’s the only color that might take down the Torch Red. I give a big thumbs up on your yellow accents. Question: I’m hearing that the Chevy dealerships/service are turning folks away when they come to them for after market add ons like the spoilers and rockers. If this is true, should I go ahead and opt for the flat black rockers offered by Chevy? I really want the carbon flash 1VM rocker panels from acs to match my carbon flash trim on my current build. I’m just having a hard time wrapping my mind around some side shop drilling holes in MSBHVIN !

Mike, I personally like the Sea Wolf Gray 🩶 color! I think GM should have gotten rid of Ceramic Matrix Gray amd added a brighter green 💚 or purple 💜 color to the pallet. CMG has been around for about 5 yrs now when it started on the Carbon 65 Edition cars. The Sea Wolf Gray is different than Hypersonics heavy greenish hues. The lighter golden metallics give it a really great look in person! The Artemis color interior has a dark clay color in person and two tone black competition seat would look really good with Sea Wolf too! -Shane

My sales specialist advised me to not get stealth on speakers. His points were well taken so I’d look at that choice very carefully. I went with non stealth speakers. Got to CF roof and nacelles for sure. No red calipers and red seat belts? I know the yellow stiching cool but the yellow on seat belts just is a bit off in by opinion. Go for Sea Wold Grey hands down new color and blue is blue only a different shade. If purple was a choice then it would be a flip of coin but Sea Wolf still would be my choice. I think you’d be very happy with Sea Wolf and it will always be seen as “new” and innovative in my opinion. Skip yellow seat belts and go black. Nothing else really looks like Sea Wolf vs. the version of blue. You’ll still have yellow stiching and that will enhance yellow calipers. People will know that’s new and 😎 cool if you go with Sea Wolf. Really an amazing new color. Yes, Chevy has let us down on colors that would be great in year 5 of C8. Any of these good points for you Mike? By way I wish BOS would sponsor a Colorado event in Estes Park driving up trail ridge road (highest PAVED road in North America) visiting Alpine Visitor center and crossing Continental divide. Estes Park very helpful in putting together these type of events and I’d be happy to help! Now if I could only get that set of ERay all seasons for my Z06! Can you ask your contact? Gets cold up in them there mountains in mornings! Check out you tube videos on Trail Ridge Road as some refer the area as the “American Alps.” Absolutely awesome indeed.

I agree with your opinion on the colors if they insist on having such a limited selection. This has become an expensive car, there should be a much larger selection even if they have a set that is of much higher cost.. Cars like McLaren, Porsche and Lamborghini have what seems like unlimited selections. Why be so short sighted and even boring? I'd love a purple with a black and white interior. So charge extra...people would pay. How much interest do they really think they will get in Cacti? Whose idea was that? Is that person over 70 with similar colored hair? Furthermore, at the cost of an E-Ray compared to the Z06, I am turned off by the apparent lack of offering of the trim pieces in carbon flash. They could have done it center exhaust as well but I understand they don't want to step on the toes of the Z06. I would like a red mist with natural and black interior with RED stitching...I'm betting they would never do it...which makes no sense.
