Couple more pics

I have decided that this color is prone to massive variance based on the camera that's taking the pictures and/or filters. I didn't think much of it from the media or thread pictures initially. Saw it on a C8 a few days ago and it is gorgeous, not too light and not too dark, very well saturated. It doesn't seem to hide the body lines and details but doesn't accentuate them either. It's actually a very interesting color for as simple as it is, a lot of these pictures are really cool but don't do the real sight of it any justice. There is less variance in the tint and color based on natural lighting conditions in real life, some pictures make it look almost tiffany blue or even a teal with stiff blue in it, but that seems to be inaccurate from what I saw. Dedic's garage pics is very close to what it looks like in bright direct sunlight to my eyes, and in dimmer natural light there is no color change. Under the lot lights I have no idea. It's definitely more attention getting than I would typically go for, but man does it look nice in real life. Might have to get me one in this color...not really digging my satin steel at all.

I agree, Camera does not do it justice.

I can finally contribute to this thread! Picked it up yesterday.

My only issue is the red stitching in the interior and of course red brake calipers. It just doesn't look right with this bright blue color.

I wish Chevy had given an option to at least have silver interior stitching and black brake calipers.

WhiteMale · 11-02-2021, 09:42 AM

mmmm Rapid Blue...congrats!!!

Everyone's taste is different. I (for one!) love this blue color and think the red calipers go fine with the scheme and are a nice contrast (better so than on my Red Hot 1LE).

If this color had been available when I ordered my 2021, it would have been a really difficult decision. The way the blue color appears in Cherna's pics, I like it better than my red. But when I showed the pics to the rest of my family, they clearly thought the red was a much better choice. Oh well, you won't please everyone!

Orange calipers would go great with that shade of blue

I have to agree with you on the stitching, it clashes. I'm not a fan of color matched interiors alternately, but the interior red is too dark and unsaturated to pair with this exterior color. On the other hand I really like the bright red calipers with the clear tail lights in this color. Silver stitching would be cool, hopefully would pull off an understated red, white, and blue scheme.
