Okay, Chevrolet. I am not sure how I missed this news about you having a purple exterior color in play, but I can thank GM Authority for sharing this photo of a 2024 Chevrolet Traverse in Stardust Metallic.
As an original fan of both the C4/C7’s Black Rose Metallic and the C5’s Medium Purple Pearl Metallic, I’ve been hoping to see a similar color offered on the new C8 Corvette. Purple was also explored as a possible exterior by Alex who was looking at the shades of purple offered on competing exotics. But look no more, as Chevrolet is painting other vehicles in this new shade. Will it make it to the Corvettes in 2025?
It’s actually not surprising that I haven’t seen this shade before. On the 2024 Traverse Build & Price configurator, you have to go to the top RS AWD trim level to even see Stardust Metallic as an offering. And on the configurator, it looks to be more burgundy than purple. The color also appears to be offered on the 2024 Blazer EV where it’s given the horrible name of Galaxy Gray Metallic. On the configurator, it appears to be more of a battleship color than an exotic purple that it is, although the color is represented better in the official media photos as seen below. Come, on Chevy! You really need to work on representing your exterior colors better on the configurators…

We are currently getting into the 2025 model year’s “silly season” where speculation runs rampant when it comes to which new colors Chevrolet will offer on Corvette. We’ve heard rumors that Accelerate Yellow may change. Ceramic Matrix Gray has been around since the 2018s. And do we really need two shades of Black? The Carbon Flash Metallic was a carryover from the 70th Anniversary models despite the fact that it was outsold 2 to 1 against the White Pearl Metallic which Chevy retired once the 2023s were completed.
So Corvette Nation. Once again, the paint brush is in your hands, and we know that Corvette’s paint peeps are readers of the blog. Would you like to see this Stardust Metallic from the Traverse on the 2025 Corvettes? Vote below and let your voice be heard!
