Considering 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 website. Soon after the restricted production “Dark Emerald Frost” vehicles sold out, I vacillated among “Rift Metallic,” and “Electric Blue,” but under no circumstances actually located a colour I was one hundred% sold on. 2023 brought “Maverick Noir Frost” and a handful of other solutions, but I actually wanted to see one thing like BMWs “Thundernight Metallic.”

For 2024, a new crop of colors has emerged, and when none of them are purple, and extra 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 an additional fantastic BMW colour, Phoenix Yellow but with a small extra pop, and extra importantly, it aligns with my general theory of automotive paint, which boils down to “cars with a regular kind aspect get wilder colors, and supercars and hypercars ought to 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 when the Ct5-V BW appears amazing in say, “Summit White” (beneath), I’d have to do my aspect to fight the greyscaling of the American automotive palette.
