Considering the fact that I drove them back in 2021, I’ve spent a lot of time configuring Cadillac CT5-V Blackwings and CT4-V Blackwings on the Cadillac web-site. Just after the restricted production “Dark Emerald Frost” automobiles sold out, I vacillated among “Rift Metallic,” and “Electric Blue,” but in no way definitely discovered a colour I was one hundred% sold on. 2023 brought “Maverick Noir Frost” and a handful of other alternatives, but I definitely wanted to see some thing like BMWs “Thundernight Metallic.”

For 2024, a new crop of colors has emerged, and whilst none of them are purple, and much more than half of them are type of greyscale, there is now a yellow alternative, “Cyber Yellow Metallic” pictured above on the CT4-V Blackwing.
It reminds me of a further fantastic BMW colour, Phoenix Yellow but with a tiny much more pop, and much more importantly, it aligns with my general theory of automotive paint, which boils down to “cars with a standard type aspect get wilder colors, and supercars and hypercars must be beige.” I likely wouldn’t do a yellow Ferrari, but a yellow sports sedan from an American manufacturer? Yes, I think that tends to make sense.
And whilst the CT5-V BW appears outstanding in say, “Summit White” (under), I’d have to do my aspect to fight the greyscaling of the American automotive palette.

Verify out the rest of the new alternatives on the Cadillac web-site and inform me I’m incorrect.
