Yellow has a real pop to it...love it. Under the skin though they are all Corvettes first.

I think it would have to be white!! During the plant tour they tell you that they have continuously offered white because of the historical significance that it has to the car! (Even the '83 Corvette at the NCM is white)

Different gens, different colors it seems. C4 maybe white or red. c5 a lot of silver ones were advertised/tested but also red, then a slight push for le manns blue I noticed. And c6 was def dominated by yellow, untill atomic orange came out. Now that its gone most of the toys and things have gone to red from what I notice. C6 test cars did push jetstream blue and cyber gray for the short time they were new, but that died pretty quick. Now it seems mixed.

It's not called "resell red" for nothing.

Yes, Madagascar Cinnamon Red, Gingerbread Rust, Peppermint White/Sage, Maccihiato Pewter, Frappuccino Blue , Pumpkin Spice Burgundy, Dolce Silver, Mocha Black, Autumn Brulee Yellow- would do nicely.

Thank you.

for Pre - C4 White is the best color as it has a way of covering up the flaws in the fiberglass work of the c1, c2, c3 era.

for C4, c5 and c6 Black and Red are signature colors for the public consumer.

White because of the first Vette folowed by Red because of the remarks made by John Heinricy.

P.S. I am partial to red. White vettes are not manly enough

Red works for me. I would accept any color though.
