My first choices with Shark would be

1) Kalahari
2) Brownstone
3) Black
4) Red

and the purpose of this post is more effective than many want to say....just a couple hours on the forum and over 900 views.....as it is the first I have seen talking about his combo.

Thank-you everyone for the feedback
What, No love for the gray interior?????

I like it!

My favorite with the Brownstone interior is NRB.

What color is the roof?

I think the reason that LRG with Brownstone was such a dud was because they put it with a Kalahari roof on the 'vert. A Brownstone roof on the 'vert would look real nice! (But I'll bet it isn't)

YES brownstone on the night race, even the crystal red looks great!

Roof is black!

Actually is not all that bad....kind of an understated look....makes the Shark Gray look brownish. Probably this combo will be few and far between though.

Pewter was a popular color during the C5 years and this is pretty close to it. The brown interior seems like a natural choice, it compliments the beige caste of the Shark gray. True, it doesn't "pop" like the red interior but some buyers want a more understated luxurious look. I'll bet this car finds a buyer sooner than later

The shark gray car I say at Fun Fest Effingham, did not look
like it had that much brown in it, but I don't think the color
looked anything like in the pics Rick just posted.
I like the brownstone/shark gray combo as posted, but don't
think it would look like that in person.

So many Corvettes are red or black with red or black interior. I respect everyone's choices for colors of their cars but for me I like something different than 50% of the cars out there.

I agree, no corvette should have an interior that is a shade of dog crap brown

I really love the Brownstone in my Arctic White coupe. That looks pretty good in the pictures and I bet much better in person.

I get lots of complements on the brownstone.

Have you ever seen a Brownstone interior in person?

The SG/Brownstone combo is especially beautiful. Very classy!

Yet another reason that on this multiple choice test, more than one answer can be correct.

It's an excellent new option. It would also look good with green or yellow imo…

I like the Brownstone. I like the Shark Gray. I do not like the combo in the least. BUT - Let's check back-in with Rick in 6 months and see how many SHARK GREY & BROWNSTONE C7's he has delivered. Maybe he's onto a sleeper color combo buyers will want. Opinions are so polarized here - sales numbers will be the true 'opinion poll'.

I'm on the fence when it comes to the new grey (need to see it in person) but I have seen the brownstone interior and as far as I'm concerned it looks great.
