Interesting data, no real surprises in my opinion, thanks for sharing.

Nice to know I won't see many other NRB C7s on the road.

And yet they charge extra for Daytona Orange and twice as much for Velocity Yellow?

I'm surprised Black is not more popular and I'm guessing NRB is on the chopping block for 2017.

Thanks.

Nice to know i have an extremely rare color. If it goes the route of LRG, my '15 will be a keeper. I get so many complements on the color.

Red C8 of Jax

Surprised NRB made the 2016 color list. Someone at GM must really like NRB.

Could be worth millions someday!

My brother Special Ordered a Chevy van in Orange which we customized in the late 1970s. What a ***** wagon that was.

So white overtakes Torch Red, wasn't far behind last year. Looks nice but white for a sports car? Probably helps that it isn't priced as a premium paint. Given all the ads seem to feature Laguna Blue makes me wonder it doesn't sell more units.

Red Interior helps sell AW Stingrays.

I'm loving my artic white , but Vettes in any color are beautiful

Interesting!

It makes sense the 4 best selling colors, which account for 2/3 of all C7 sales are free colors.
Imo, the stumper is blade silver - as in general, silver is the best selling color for all cars sold, accounting for 20% of sales, but even as a free color it captures only 5% of C7 sales.
Also interesting DSOM isn't selling much, if at all better than the LRG it replaced.
I am not surprised white is #1, as it is very popular in my area.

I think silver is a low seller on the Corvette simply because Shark Gray looks so much better and if SG wasn't offered, a lot of those people might have gone for silver instead. I generally don't like silver or gray on most cars, but both of them look great on the C7. In fact the only color I don't like on the C7 is black as I find it hides the lines of the car far too much. I found the same thing with the C5 and the C6 too.

Here's some information on interior colors, too:

Jet Black Leather........ 49%
Jet Black Suede........... 6%
Adrenaline Red........... 27%
Gray Leather............... 9%
Gray Suede................. 1%
kalahari Leather.......... 11%
Kalahari Suede............. 2%
Browntone Leather........ 1%
Brownstone Suede........ 1%

Seems I got myself a real rare Stingray.

I haven't seen figures for 2015 yet, but for 2014 convertibles made up only 29% of Stingray sales, and manual transmissions only 35%.

So my DSOM, black suede, 7MT convertible is likely to be pretty uncommon.

I think this C7 looks good in all colors...that said, I also think white shows off the lines and venting more so than any other color. My C5 was yellow however, after agonizing over the color choice for months I went with AW for my C7. It's not at all because it was a "free color"...as anyone who buys a 70K car and is overly worried about another grand for a color should not be buying a 70K car....but because, to me, AW just seemed to show the angles, lines and venting more clearly. For me, the worst thing about choosing a color that's so popular is just that...I'd rather be not be in the crowd if you will. However, I'd like to think that us Vette owners are a rare enough breed so it doesn't matter how many "popular color" vettes are flying around our Nation's highways....Enjoy the ride all!!!

These are the cars that will be even more rare since 3LT KALAHARI will no longer cover must of the interior.

2014 base or Z51 3LT LG with KALAHARI
2015 base or Z51 3LT CRT With KALAHARI

What makes no sense based on the above data on interior colors, GM kept the 1% BROWNSTONE in full interior design but cut the KALAHARI at 11% from the 2016 line up.

Way to go GM, I like to know who is the @#$ that made does decisions?.
