Blue Ray Metallic/Graphite Blue

['01LS1]

Stopped by a GMC dealer yesterday & the new? Graphite Blue color really looks great on the '13's.

Went to their website & it is not listed in their color guide. So did a search & found the heading below.

Was hoping they were going to carry it over to the '14's. Maybe it is just a supply issue?

Stuff like that sometimes makes me wonder if it is a marketing experiment. In other words, see if there is any kind of squawking demand for it.

I did not go through every model GM runs, but did find the color is available on the Camaro Dusk edition.

So if you buy this on a half ton that is in dealer stock, you will have a limited edition that will be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars when you sell it on c/list 10 years later.

GMC.com list an awesome brilliant, blue color called "Heritage Blue Metallic".

 

I found out just this past week it came out LATE 2012.

 

I love this new color too. I've only seen one with my own eyes, a new crewcab Silverado called "Blue Topaz Metallic". Sad this color just came out, I bought my new '12 Sierra in June. I would have waited a tad bit longer if I knew this color was coming out.

Looks awfully close to the color of my truck. As I recall the name of its color was "laser blue" aka "looks like something a 12 yr old <kid> would buy" (quote from this forum lol). I get about 1 person per month asking me what the name of the color is. It looks purple under certain light but under most lighting now it looks like what I would call a bright blue.

Just saw the Heritage Blue Metallic at a local dealer, it is a nice blue to me. A fair bit lighter than the blue on the 2010-2012 I have not seen the metallic red yet though. There is also a package called Concord Metallic Special Paint Package. Wonder what colour that is?

I love almost every shade of blue!

I am not usually a fan of blue paint. Not knocking anyone elses choice, just not what I want to own.

But the graphite blue mentioned in the first post looked more carbon colored in person. But it was cloudy

& this morning is the first day the sun has been out since last weekend. Need to go back to check it out again.

Grape? lol, sorry couldn't resist. Sounds interesting.

 

I go for about any color that doesnt show dirt like crazy. My 'laser blue' right now does not do too bad on the black dirt and clay dirt I kick up around here but the white dust kicked up on gravel and lime sure shows up baaad.

Okay, post up a pic of this "Laser Blue". I think we are talking about 2 different colors here,

OMG that's sharp!

I bet the "Blue Ray Metallic/Graphite Blue Metallic Editions (PCY)" mentioned in the first post is easier to keep clean though? It also would have the benefit of notlooking purple under certain light :lol

Has anyone seen the concord metallic color? Was walking around a dealer this afternoon looking for a Blue Ray they had last week & stumbled across it. The truck was dirty from the grass field & snow they had it parked in, but looked pretty cool *I think*. Need to see one that is clean out in the sun though.

Laser Blue Metallic is a cool color. Here it is on my parents Monte Carlo SS. They get a lot of comments on it.
