Default Color Combo Decision

I would appreciate your feedback on trying to help me decide which color combo to order on my C7 convertible. Yellow with Brownstone or Silver with Red?

Silver with Red is sharp.

I'm not a fan of Brownstone so silver with red would be my choice.

Silver/Red but...consider Shark Grey/Red as an alternate.

I'd go with the VY/Brownstone. It's what I would have ordered but I found a VY/Black 3lt in the showroom and bought it.

I have a Brownstone '13 Malibu LTZ and the interior is very nice, very rich looking for a cheap car.

I like the yellow better, so i'd go with that. I'd probably get black though, all leather. Brownstone is very nice too, though, i'd just be concerned with upkeep and wear of suede.

Default hard t o say

Both those combos are great. I might lean toward the VY/Brownstone, simply because it would be very rare. But the C7 looks awesome in silver/red.

If you really want brownstone, you might want to consider getting shark gray

I love my VY/black car, but the silver/red cars I've seen look awesome. I really like the red interior on the verts, especially if it's 3LT.

I am a huge fan of the Silver with Red.Previously never been a fan of the silver on any other version of the corvette but it is striking on the C7.

Currently have a TR with Red in 1100 stage and not a day goes by that I don't consider changing it to the Sliver with red interior..

good news...they will both look awesome as all the colors do!

I think for the C7, silver/red is the best looking overall combo.

I am interested in seeing a shark/red combo tho.

The Brownstone interior is stunning in person. I love mine. I also have the micro-fiber suede seat inserts. Despite the concerns of some about upkeep and wear of the suede, there are plenty of thread in C6 about how well it has held up (suede was offered in some of the C6 model years).

My absolute #1 color choice on the C7 coupe is Silver with red interior, period. On the convertible, I like Arctic White with red interior (although my AW 'vert has the black interior, which is a long story for another thread)...

I don't see brown and gray as a good color combination. Gray goes with black not brown.

Ultimately it is your car and only your opinion matters. The tough part is that they all look good. I just looked through the stickied color threads and looked at page after page of pictures before I picked the one I liked best. Lots of good examples there to base your decisions on.
