Changed from Black Grand Sport to White Stingray...could have bought black Stingray, but thought white was sharp.

when you trade often, its hard not to repeat on color.
There is one color on a vette have never liked and is
yellow. But my silvers have been boring, Black hard
to keep clean. Whites geez every work truck that color.
I would maybe get a yellow just for something different
and see how long could keep it. Next up would be that
green. Did have a green Avalanche North Face and liked it

I now own a 2001 Magnetic Red coupe, and looking to get a Crystal Red coupe. Crystal Red looks almost identical to Mag red to me. Gotta have a red 'vette!

So you think the white looks like a "work truck"? If that's the case, I like work trucks! Agree the black was hard to keep clean and free of swirl marks.

Actually, coincidentally enough it was your pic that made me start this thread, I saw the pic hanging on the wall of the red C4 and your red C7 next to it and just got curious to see if people are sticking with their same color from model to model. Interesting mix of answers here. My first Corvette was an '00 DBGM with saddle top and guts, my second was the SW with white top and black guts and since I purchased them used I didn't have luxury of choosing colors. I was going to go for white with red interior as a tribute to Canada but decided to go with white w/Kalahari (I'll just put a small maple leaf sticker on the bumper to pay respect to my country).

Nope, I went from Jet Stream Blue to Blade Silver.

In fact, I am back to the first color corvette I ever had (Sebring Silver) and love it!

My last vette was CGM. Current vette is LBT. Over the years I have had several different colors. Kinda like to mix it up.

I never buy any car, DD or Toy, with the same color in a row. Have only afforded 3 new Corvettes and some other sports cars when priorities were elsewhere. In order they were:

65 Corvette C2 - Silver
70 MGB - Black
78 MGB - Orange
88 Fiero GT - White
05 Corvette - Precision Red
11 BMW Z4 - Alpine White
14 Corvette C7 - Laguna Blue.

I hope that there is a new yellow or orange by at least the 2017 C7. That would make it hard for me to resist.

Can't remember the last time I didn't own black so I don't remember if it was easier to keep any other color clean. I'm sticking with black! You gotta love it.

Me, I went from a Speedway white 'vert C5 to an AW and am pretty sure I will stick with white from this point on unless I find a nice mid year in which case it would be a black roadster or silver split window.

I had a Jet Stream blue 2011 Grand Sport . Now I have Laguna Blue.
