1984-1996 C4 Corvette Factory Paint Colors

Although it was meant to roll out a bit earlier, in 1983, production problems delayed the fourth generation Corvette’s debut for another year. But when it was officially released in 1984, Corvette enthusiasts enjoyed its many updates. 

The C4 Corvette was all new from the ground up, built with a completely unique look. A departure from the Stingray design, it featured a sleeker body and an entirely new chassis. Notably, it was the first Corvette built on a uniframe, which combines all essential elements of the car into one welded unit. 

Something that was also new? An updated selection of C4 Corvette paint colors. Below, we’ve provided a full list of them and their corresponding OEM color codes. So if you’ve got a C4 Corvette of your own and you’re looking to refresh its original paint color, this article will make it a breeze.
