Cascade Green.

On '50s Fender guitars it's called Surf Green.

is my #1
used to be black/silver cove/red interior, but the aztec copper/beige combo is understated elegance

DO NOT let that discourage you from the color that you prefer.
But a black 57 seems to have the biggest preference.

I also have NEVER seen an Artic Blue with red coves. BUT, I have seen an Artic Blue with a red interior. Personally, I LOVED it!

My favorite color choice is red (red coves) and red/black interior.

Default '57 Color Combo

'57 in Inca Silver with Inca Silver coves, and Venetian Red interior... but, it must be a fuelie in those colors.

A '57 in Polo White with Inca Silver coves, and Venetian Red interior is very stunning.

Cascade Green ======= It represents the era
Black ========== Classic Sinister look
Red ============ Aren't all real Corvettes red
Arctic Blue ======== What a classy look
Inca Silver ========= A very rich color
Polo White =========== Aristocratic

I can't make up my mind on the color much less the color of the cove or interior

I love all the colors. The polo white with inca silver cove and red interior is stunning. How about polo white with inca silver cove and beige interior? I think it was offered in 57 but I have never seen it.
