The silver is an extraordinary color as well. Depending on the daylight and sky coloring, at times it has a blue hue and other times there's a gold tinge to it. It is the nicest silver I think I've ever seen on a car.
 
Ice blue here, it wasn't my first choice, but it was the only one available at the time. It's not a bad color, I'm in the Phoenix area with lots of EVs including Bolts and I've only seen one other ice blue, so it is kind of unique. And as mentioned above, hides the dirt and dust pretty well.
 
I started the factory-order process on a Bolt EV 1LT today, went with the Ice Blue (a toss-up with Silver Flare). Bright Blue and Radiant Red cost extra ($395/$495), as you may be aware.

Both black and white attract dirt like a magnet (white dirt and black dirt, respectively), as everyone knows. Mid-tones, on the other hand, actively REPEL dirt and dust, which has been scientifically proven... :ROFLMAO:
 
Go to any parking lot and all you see is a sea of white to black and all the grays in between. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you can't go wrong with Bright Blue or Radiant Red.

I’ve got the radiant red and love it. It changes its tint based upon how the light hits it. And other than my yellow Chrysler Prowler, I received more compliments on this car and its color than any other car I’ve ever owned and this is car number 73!
 
For me it's Silver Flare, Radiant Red and Ghost Grey in that order.
But since I didn't want to order or wait on colors, I just picked whatever was available.
I got Ghost Grey. GM has chosen good colors for the Bolt.
 
I wanted a light color, summer is half the year and hot. I preferred the blue metallic over silver ( some silver is less appealing than others.) All colors offered are great, as opposed to the maverick (wth are they thinking).

I bought a 2LT ice blue metallic off the dealer lot back in 2021. I have received nothing but great comments about the color. I looked at the red but as has been said, the extra $495 turned me off. I did have a red 2012 Volt and it was very nice as well.
 
My wife wanted Ghost Gray, so that's what we got, but I really fell for the ice blue when I saw it in person. I wasn't inclined to when we were looking at the brochures beforehand but it really looks good on the car.
 
I love the Radiant Red. My last new car was red. About the only complaint I had about it was it got dirty looking fairly fast. So when I ordered my Bolt EUV, I wanted a lighter colored car that would be slightly cooler in the hot TX summers. That pretty much left me with white, silver or ice blue metallic as my choices. I decided to go with ice blue metallic because I like it and you don't see many cars of that color on the road. I'm happy with it and it really doesn't show dirt/dust very fast.

I wish people would stop using Ice Blue 'Metallic'. That color does not exist.

There is 'Ice Blue' and extra-cost 'Bright Blue Metallic'.
 
Then why did the sticker on my 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV say the color is "Ice Blue Metallic"? Also, when you build/buy it on the chevy website, it's also "ice blue metallic".
My error. I could have sworn I've seen it referred to as simply 'Ice Blue'. It certainly doesn't 'look' metallic.
 
I chose the red to reduce the slight bug-eye appearance of the rear taillights on my 2019. Glad you grabbed one before they are gone. Enjoy!
I've had two battery replacements and get 265 to 275 actual miles from newest pacs. New full powertrain warranty, large very knowledgeable dealer 5 miles away; what's not to love?
