I am maybe 8-10 hours round trip away from New York City...so I not be attending. Corvettes at Carlisle will be my first opportunity to see the cars in person.

Ill be in NY and ill past as many pics as I can.

Wow my first guess was gray but as they said some photos had me second guessing and saying blue. Can't wait to see it soon.

It is really hard to tell. Based on looking at some of the preliminary pictures last year, and then seeing them in person this year, I wouldn't put too much stock in the preliminary pictures. I hope some people at the Bash can take true-to-live photographs for us to see. John? PLEASE?

Like I said, it's grey. No, it's blue. Well maybe blue. No! No! No! I'm positive it's grey! I think. Um blue-grey.

Glad we got a definitive answer. It looks likes it will be a very classy color with moderate contrast with the rest of the interior. If the picture is close to real life, it will be a hit!

Nice!

That is hilarious. I laughed out loud.

Is that new gray going to replace the light gray in the StingRay Z51 for 2015, or is it just for the Z06? Do we know for sure yet?

We were told this new gray is Z06 only.

<---------- Cries a little on the inside.

Like that some exclusivity is coming the Z06 way!

Will it stay that way though?

that grey looks a lot darker than what I saw in NY. Makes me wonder if it is grey/black and the lights played tricks on me? Anyone else see the Dark grey in person, perhaps in another light?

Yeah, looking at small samples like this strikes me the same as looking at "Paint Chips" in paint catalogs. For me it represents little or no help in determining any true effects the shades might have on other components because exposure to light has so much influence over it. You really have to see it in person under various light conditions to make any decisions. In automotive paint finishes rounded body lines versus sharper lines have a tremendous affect of how the finish reflects light and this combined with various accents has a tremendous impact on the overall look we're trying to achieve? TMI? Maybe I got a little carried away.... This is why rounder body lines like the C6 "Generally" look better in darker colors while sharper body lines such as with the C7 "Generally' appear better in the lighter colors.... Yes, I know, to each their own... Just a little something I've learned over the years.....

Friend of mine owns a body shop, and once painted a car based on the 1" x 1.5" paint chip. Customer saw it and went ballistic, saying it was nothing like what he wanted. The body shop repainted the entire car for just the price of the paint. And that body shop will never ever paint another car based on a paint chip or simple.

Saw the actual Z06 dark gray leather sample that Ryan Vaughan, Interior Design Manager brought to the Bash and it is not approaching black nor even a charcoal gray. When we discussed it, as Ryan was showing it to Annie and me, he said that it is in full sections, it is exactly as per the sample, i.e., in other words, it is a beautiful dark gray. It is dark enough that it is definitely not in a medium gray, nor is it too dark so that it appears like a faded black.

"Soho," your eyes and your reporting back to us all was/is perfectly accurate!

I'm still leaning towards shark grey with red interior for that pop.

That will be a beautiful combination!
