Not too good, you don't see them today. Sublime, B5 Blue, Plum Crazy, F8 Green. GoMango, came back for a very limited return of about 2-3 years and disappeared again. Black, Silver, White, continue to be the most popular car colors decade after decade for all car manufacturers. Hard to argue with data and this coming from someone that's a huge fan of Sublime.

Wow! A few of you need to grow up and learn some respect for others.

OP, buy what makes you happy and don’t worry about anyone’s opinion. You will find out there are jealous/disrespectful people everywhere……several in this thread.

Riverside Blue

I personally passed on (3) Rapid Blue ZL1's before getting my Sharkskin Gray Metallic. I personally thought the color stood out too much and look more like a wrap color vs a paint color. It's all personal choice of course, if you get it and it wears on you, you could always wrap it.

I vote riverside blue. While every color is not me, the car looks awesome in any.

KingLT1 · 03-21-2023, 08:23 AM

Riverside since they no longer offer Hyper blue which was imo the best variant of blue to date.

SSDan · 03-21-2023, 08:45 AM

Hyper Blue of course (unbiased opinion - Ha!). Since its out of production then Riverside is the closest. My wife calls all the colors like Rapid Blue "milk paint" because to her the color looks like it's been diluted with milk.

ZL1Rocks · 03-21-2023, 08:46 AM

Riverside Blue for sure!

You should ALWAYS buy what makes YOU happy, not what makes everyone else happy.

I didn't like Rapid blue too much from pictures, but when I saw in person, it was so much nicer. I was going to be happy with either color. I ended up with Riverside blue and I am perfectly happy. If you like blue cars, you can't lose with either. Rapid blue might turn more heads or attract more attention(unwanted?).

Attention all Rapid Blue owners, run to your safe space! In an opinion based thread your going to get opinions, some may be a little harsh. Pretty sure most people can handle it.
