Chevrolet has refreshed the C8 Corvette’s 2026 color palette with two striking additions: Roswell Green Metallic and Blade Silver Metallic. These new hues inject fresh personality into the iconic mid-engine sports car, expanding customization options for Corvette enthusiasts.
Roswell Green Metallic stands out as a bold, high-impact finish—reminiscent of Porsche’s Viper Green and certain BMW performance models. This vivid, extraterrestrial-inspired tone pays playful homage to Roswell, New Mexico, a hotspot for alien lore. It replaces the pastel-toned Cacti Green, which debuted in 2024 alongside the E-Ray hybrid but was discontinued after just one year. Roswell Green marks the Corvette’s second green color option in the C8 generation and is far more aggressive and attention-grabbing.
On the other end of the spectrum, Blade Silver Metallic offers a more refined and subdued aesthetic. Lighter than traditional silver, it almost borders on white, delivering a sophisticated yet understated look.
To accommodate these new entries, Chevy has retired Rapid Blue Metallic and Sea Wolf Gray. Rapid Blue has been a fan favorite since the C8’s launch in 2019, while Sea Wolf Gray—introduced in 2024—gained popularity for its resemblance to Audi’s Nardo Gray. Despite their appeal, both shades are being phased out to maintain a streamlined 10-color lineup.
The 2026 Corvette still boasts an exciting array of colors, including Torch Red, Hysteria Purple, Sebring Orange, and Competition Yellow. With Roswell Green joining the ranks, Corvette buyers have more ways than ever to stand out.
