Due to the fact 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 internet site. Immediately after the restricted production “Dark Emerald Frost” vehicles sold out, I vacillated involving “Rift Metallic,” and “Electric Blue,” but never ever genuinely discovered a colour I was one hundred% sold on. 2023 brought “Maverick Noir Frost” and a handful of other possibilities, but I genuinely 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 sort of greyscale, there is now a yellow selection, “Cyber Yellow Metallic” pictured above on the CT4-V Blackwing.

It reminds me of a different excellent BMW colour, Phoenix Yellow but with a tiny much more pop, and much more importantly, it aligns with my all round theory of automotive paint, which boils down to “cars with a standard kind aspect get wilder colors, and supercars and hypercars really should be beige.” I most 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 unbelievable in say, “Summit White” (beneath), I’d have to do my portion to fight the greyscaling of the American automotive palette.
