Default C7... If you could pick a color...

If you could have any color on your C7 what would it be? Does not have to be a current or past color.

I've read through the C7 section and it appears that a metallic black (like Cadaliac Black Ice) is a popular "wish".

Although the Black Ice / Black Metallic color does appeal to me, I want a powdery looking white (white red interior of course). I have seen this painted on some Mustangs several years ago, although I'm not sure what year. It appears to be the same shade of white that is on the Geiger ZR1.

Your turn.....

Navy Blue Metallic.

Or a true deep purple metallic -- not that reddish-brown raisin stuff -- I think Mustang was the last one to come close to a good-looking purple back in 1997.

I would love candy apple red metallic to replace crystal red metallic. Something like this:



Instead of this:



It's a subtle difference but I like it a lot better.

i agree ! the closest they ever got to that was the absolutely Horrid 80s SOfa color which was known as the 'ruby red'.

Another vote for a true Candy Apple Red Metallic as well as a Black/Dark Blue Metallic mix and another gray similar to Spiral Gray.

Electron Blue

Second choice would be that color they used on the 1996 Impala SS that was a metallic deep cherry.
