Is this a new color for 2017?

Noticed this on one of the Chevrolet Facebook pages. Looks like a silver-blue. They have a similar color on other cars. I like it a lot...odd thing is the press car photos look like regular silver. So is this a bad photo, or are they two different colors?

Its just photoshop. Its actually supposed to be silver. There are other photos of this car where the color wasnt altered like this.

I don't think the "bluish" convertible is the same car that's at NYIAS.

That's what I thought. The interior comes "as is".

Only thing I can think is maybe they're testing the waters to see a reaction? They were asking what we thought of the belts at the surprise unveil in Nevada...maybe they're afraid it would look too striking in a convertible?

All guesses...

All I know is if this color is offered, I'll buy it on my SS 1LE.

I was going to get black, but with the show car being black, I think there will be too many black SS 1LE's. Then I said white, but my Mustang I just sold was white, and the contrast with all the black may be too much. So hyper blue was my next choice, but that seems to be on lots and lots of new Camaros in general, and I don't want what everyone else has I think...so this silver/blue would be a winner for me.

Yes, this color would be a game changer for me. I personally think the regular silver is boring on the gen 6 (just my opinion) but the color in those photos is unbelievable. Someone in another thread said it looks like an Aston Martin color and I totally agree.

I'm no photo expert but it looks like just a highly saturated color pallet. It's probably silver with a blue sky above.
