2026 C8 Corvette Gets New Colors Before Updated Interior
Chevrolet spun the color wheel and is giving the Corvette two new paint options for 2026.
Key Points
- Chevrolet is adding Roswell Green Metallic and Blade Silver Metallic to the Corvette's color lineup for the 2026 model year.
- Rapid Blue Metallic and Sea Wolf Gray are being dropped to maintain a 10-color palette.
- Still waiting for official images of the C8's updated interior for 2026.
The mid-engine sports car will now be available in Roswell Green Metallic and Blade Silver Metallic.
Roswell Green Metallic is only the second green shade offered on the C8 generation, following the short-lived Cacti Green introduced for the E-Ray in 2024. Unlike the pastel Cacti Green, Roswell Green is deeper and lustrous, like an alien out for a walk at Area 51 in Roswell, New Mexico
Blade Silver Metallic, meanwhile, offers the perfect pairing for your New Balance 530s. It’s a light, almost white silver tone that brings the crispy Sunday feels.
To make room for the new paint shades, Chevrolet is dropping two existing colors. Rapid Blue Metallic—offered every year since the C8's 2020 debut is being discontinued, as is Sea Wolf Gray, which was only available in 2024 and 2025. Corvette buyers enjoy one of the widest spectrums of color choices in the league, with options like Hysteria Purple, Torch Red, Sebring Orange, and Competition Yellow available.
The Corvette will also gain a new interior for 2026, which will see the anti-social "wall of buttons" center console layout dropped. Chevrolet has yet to release official images, expect those later this summer.
