The 2023 Corvette is the fourth model year for the eighth-generation Chevy Corvette C8, introducing a few critical updates and changes compared to the preceding 2022 model year, not the least of which was the debut of the new C8 Corvette Z06. Notably, GM Authority has now learned that two of the 2023 Corvette’s paint colors are no longer available to order.
The two 2023 Corvette paint colors no longer available to order include Caffeine Metallic (paint code G48) and Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic (paint code GS7).
Caffeine (paint code G48)
Elkhart Lake Blue (paint code GS7)
Both of these hues have been built out for the 2023 model year. They are unlikely to return for the 2024 Corvette. It’s also worth mentioning that White Pearl Tricoat (paint code G1W) will also likely not return for the 2024 model year, as it was exclusive to the 70th Anniversary Special Edition package.
For those readers who may not know, Caffeine Metallic (paint code G48) was introduced to the Corvette lineup for the 2022 model year, while Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic (paint code GS7) was introduced with the 2019 Corvette, the final model year for the C7-generation sports car.
Looking ahead, the 2024 Corvette will introduce three new hues, specifically Cacti, Riptide Blue, and Sea Wolf Gray Tricoat. Per an exclusive GM Authority report, the 2024 Corvette’s official online configurator will go live at Chevy’s website on July 18th, 2023. The configurator will include the 2024 Corvette E-Ray, the 2024 Corvette Z06, and the 2024 Corvette Stingray.
Of course, the biggest change for the 2024 model year is the introduction of the new C8 Corvette E-Ray, the first all-wheel-drive, hybrid-powered Corvette eve produced from the factory.
Under the skin, all C8 Corvette variants ride on the GM Y2 platform. Production takes place exclusively at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky. As covered previously, production of the 2024 Corvette will kick off early this coming September.

Call it what you want, it looks brown and thank you, for getting rid of it. As for the blue, I am happy it is gone because mine is that color and it will make it rarer , if I ever sell. It is a beautiful metallic blue.
You’re vette isn’t going to be more rare lol. Boomer mentality
It was previously disclosed by GMA sometime ago that Riptide Blue was replacing Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic in 2024. So nothing new here.
$hitty color Blue anyway!!!!!!! Get a Dark Blue metallic………AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I get is complements, for the color. They say too many black or red. I do have a red inside and makes for quite a contrast.
I’d like to see the return of Blade Silver. Night Race Blue was an interesting color that might translate well to the C8.
