According to reports, the legendary Chevrolet Corvette sports car will gain two new body colors for the 2027 model year. These shades are named Admiral Blue and Pitch Metallic.

The return of Admiral Blue is a strategic nod to the brand's history, closely tied to the anticipated comeback of the Corvette Grand Sport variant. This color previously adorned the limited-edition C4 Grand Sport and was a signature hue for the C7 Grand Sport, making its revival a tribute to the Corvette lineage.

As for Pitch Metallic, this gray shade may be exclusive to the model. With colors like Hypersonic Grey and Sea Wolf Grey recently discontinued, the new gray fills a noticeable gap in the current palette.

These new color options for the Chevrolet Corvette will effectively replace Riptide Blue Metallic and Hysteria Purple Metallic, which will be phased out after the 2026 model year.

The 2027 model year Corvette is set to be special, as the color changes coincide with other significant updates. Multiple sources confirm the arrival of the new C8 Corvette Grand Sport, which is likely to be offered in Admiral Blue. Additionally, this model is expected to feature a new 6.7-liter V8 LS6 engine.

More detailed information about the 2027 model year Chevrolet Corvette will emerge closer to spring.
