Chevy has added two new shade selections to its mid-engine Corvette sports activities automobile for 2026: Roswell Inexperienced Metallic and Blade Silver Metallic. In a sea of painfully boring gray, black, and white, we’re ecstatic.

Roswell Inexperienced Metallic is the second inexperienced shade to be supplied on the C8. The opposite is, after all, the pastel-themed Cacti Inexperienced launched alongside the E-Ray for the 2024 mannequin 12 months. Sadly, it was a one-year-only shade, having been discontinued for 2025.

Roswell Inexperienced is clearly a much more luminescent, shoutier shade. It reminds us of Viper Inexperienced, the ultra-bright shade seen on some Porsches and BMWs. We suspect the title is a playful nod to Roswell, New Mexico, the place little inexperienced aliens have been rumored to be working round close by Space 51. As a lot as we miss the darker Lime Rock Inexperienced discovered on the C7-generation Corvette, we’re very a lot into it. 

The opposite shade, Blade Silver Metallic, resides on the opposite finish of the thrill spectrum. It’s miles extra subdued, and on the lighter aspect of silver—virtually white, not less than judging by the picture shared above by the Corvette Instagram channel. 

Including two new colours to the Corvette’s palette comes at a value, in line with Corvette Blogger. Chevy reportedly desires to maintain the Corvette’s shade lineup to 10 shades, which means it needed to discontinue two colours: Fast Blue Metallic and Sea Wolf Grey.

The brightly coloured Fast Blue has been a staple of the Corvette choice listing because the automobile’s debut in 2019, so we’re unhappy to see it go, regardless of its low gross sales. Sea Wolf Grey was an almost-flat grey, harking back to Audi’s well-known Nardo Grey paint. Launched for the 2024 mannequin 12 months, it grew to be one of many Corvette’s hottest colours. So we’re shocked to see it go.

Both manner, Corvette patrons nonetheless have a wealth of nice colours to select from, together with Hysteria Purple, Torch Pink, Sebring Orange, and Competitors Yellow. Roswell Inexperienced is in good firm.
