The C8 Corvette offers a plethora of customization opportunities, including several different color options for the exterior and interior. For those customers looking to customize the cabin, the term “dipped” is likely to find its way into the conversation. But what the heck does dipped even mean for the C8 Corvette interior?
Essentially, the term dipped as it relates to the C8 Corvette interior options is a reference to a single, uniform color scheme. The concept gives the impression that the interior has been fully immersed – or “dipped” – in a specific color, delivering a cohesive aesthetic.
This term is applied liberally across the Corvette interior color option list. A few examples would include the Adrenaline Red Dipped (red), Natural Dipped (tan), and Artemis (green), all of which showcase a seamless, monochromatic style. That said, there is some grey area to the term, most notably with the Tension Blue / Twilight Blue Dipped option, which features a two-tone blue layout matching black and blue. Then we have the Artemis interior colorway, which is monotone, but does not include the dipped term in the name.
The dipped aesthetic lends the C8 Corvette interior a more uniform look, which may be exactly what some customers are after. By contrast, the two-tone interior colorways are more disjointed and busier looking, lending a more technical appearance overall.
Going with a two-tone colorway rather than a monochromatic dipped colorway tends to accentuate the C8 Corvette’s driver-focused layout, which has remained consistent since the model’s 2020 debut. With its prominent digital display, ergonomic wide center console, and a thin ridge of buttons placed along the upper edge of the center console, the C8’s interior places a huge amount of emphasis on cradling the driver, as one might expect from a modern sports car. Meanwhile, the dipped interior colorways bring the driver’s side and passenger’s side of the cabin together, at least visually.

The term dipped and colorway are stupid.
Dipped interior is the one thing no one should ever order and should be illegal. I don’t understand how they even came up with this idea. Having worked 33 years at the GM Tech Center managing mock-ups of future vehicles, one thing that was constantly tested was windshield glare. That is why all dashboards were mat black. You cannot safely see out of a dipped interior on a sunny day; the glare is horrible, all for what a solid color interior for you to enjoy with the door open. but who drives a Corvette on a sunny day? We always take them out on a cloudy, rainy day, right?
That is a good point. The glare was a topic generations ago. Why not mat finish the dipped dashboards?
Despite the politics, we still have some of the best engineering in Warren.
Umm I’ve had the dipped Morello Red ‘21 Stingray 3LT and never had a glare issue Maybe the lighter Natural dipped there is glare But not with the darker Morello Red
The garish two tone interiors should be left to the customization crowd imo
This is utterly retarded. The red interior has always been fugly, and GM needs to go back to being more concerned with making a comfortable car than a fast sardine can… My 2001 is far more comfortable than the 2024 is.
And it doesn’t look like eurotrash either.
I live in Florida and didn’t want to sit on sun baked hot black leather seats. I ordered my 2023 C8 with the Sky Cool Grey interior. I did not know that there would be 3 ribbons of grey trim edges reaching to the windshield across the black dash. The glare reflection of these in the windshield on a sunny day is very distracting. I never heard the term ‘dipped’ before this article but now I wish my dash was dipped black.
I love our natural dipped interior ! To me it screams money – as in Ferrari !
There is a real problem with windshield glare, I had to switch out my dash cover for a black one to solve the issue.
Sixty to seventy years ago, most passenger cars (and even a few sporty cars) had multi-toned interiors…about 1962, it was big news when Pontiac offered monochromatic interiors (the sixties’ term for “dipped”) and within a couple of years you couldn’t find more than one colorway (today’s term for multi-toned interior). New proof that “everything old is new again!” I don’t like glare on my dashboard, but some dipped interiors look nicer than the mix-and-match-with-black interiors on today’s cars
I love an all red interior. Some people think they’re fugly. I don’t like having to pay 13 grand extra for one though. Not all colors will appeal to everyone. However, I think it’s safe to say that most people are long in the tooth for black and gray everything. Just give us legitimate color choices that aren’t a few splotches of color here and there. Color is the cheapest way to evoke emotion. In most cases, there’s not much emotion for someone to purchase a new vehicle when it has the same colorway🤮 has the vehicle they’ve had for 10 to 20 years.
Even in the 60’s a monochromatic interior did not include the air vent, door handles, shifter, etc when the mid 70’s Nova came out they were and still are the most boring dipped interior ever created. Everything was the same color . You could live with black but the rest of the palette screamed “Kill me, I’m in car hell” I thought it died with the Nova but Chevy brought it back with the gaudy bright red C8 1lt trim. That tacky “look at me” red from the 50’s. The base trim doesn’t even have suede texture to break it up so it does look like you just bathed the entire interior in red or tan paint. The Marinello 3LT interior is not dipped by any stretch and has carbon fiber accents giving it a touch of class and a high tech look. Dipped = cheap, low rent,
I still say the ridiculous wall between driver and passenger has to go! That is the biggest reason I haven’t purchased a C8. The other reason is lack of a clutch!
This strikes me as a good way to limit the pool of potential buyers of your vehicle to a handful of people who have no taste. The guy who came up with the “the customer’s always right in matters of taste” saying never saw this stuff. Even he would’ve put an asterisk on that – “*except “dipped” C8 Corvettes.”
When is GM going to tear down that Berlin Wall between the driver and passenger?
It’s a matter of taste but I have lost my taste for black carpet, I hate black carpet and I will never purchase another vehicle with black carpet. I had a 2020 C8 with the natural dipped and liked it but it still was not exactly what I was looking for. I ordered my Z06 with red dipped, stealth package, black mats and inside carbon fiber package II and am very pleased. Lots of red, all the black trim I could find and most of all….no black carpet. Thanks GM for the options and if you would like to sell me a luxury coupe or sedan, It has to be gas and no black carpet.
