I think the dark colors keep all that black trim from popping out. Like the hood vents. It is the reason I am going with dark gray..

colors look good but I must say the orange was nice. Thinking back that was one of the lower production colors.

I think all the black trim pieces inhibit the effect of the bright colors. Red & yellow don't look as good with so many interruptions. I wish they'd have an option to have the vent grates body-color-matched. Otherwise, black & gray look the best on this model.

I'm betting GM will have a body color option for the vents and louvers. I'm playing with the colors on my computer desk top.

I don't see how the green could sell better than the orange.

Well the current administration wants everyone to drive green cars, right?

While I have never been one for orange cars, the above C7 pictured in orange certainly looks good to my eyes.

The rear looks better with body color and not that big black plastic butt.

This. That'll be nuts if they have to be black. Way to much black sprinkled through out to make it look nice. I wouldn't be surprised though...

That orange does look nice. Or brazen orange from 06 gto. I'm honestly surprised there are so many carry over colors.
