Cure my insanity-help me choose a color
I'm going (almost literally) insane trying to decide on color. Every time I look at one of my 2 candidates I think it's the one, and then I see the other of my 2 candidates and I think it's the one. I know it's very personal and very much about opinion but I'm at a 50-50 standstill. I'm hoping that some of your comments and opinions might sway me one way or the other. Please include any logic on either color that might be a persuading factor, not simply opinions on which color you prefer (though that's fine too).
Arctic White/Adrenaline Red
Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic/Kalahari
Both would be 2LT non Z51.
Thanks!

I 'am a Torch Red fan. Being that is not your choice, I have to say, White with the red interior. Have been to several car shows where I have seen the Artic white/ Red combination and it looks incredible.

Well according to a post I read on here, on 2015 models white was the most popular color and orange was the least. You could use that to help make your decision. Personally, I think they are both great colors.

I narrowed it down to NRB and DSOM. The deciding factor for me was that they did not offer a body color rear spoiler in DSOM. I don't know if that matters to you or not, but now you know

I love the Laguna Blue, but if you're set on those two colors, it's gotta be white. White is my second choice in the C7.

Just IMO!
Arctic White/Adrenaline Red = Outstanding/Eyes Catch
Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic/Kalahari = Special & Rare
I like both, but I just took the Arctic White/Adrenaline Red 2LT-Non Z51 order last week, because I love White/Red combo very much!

Arctic White with red interior was and is my choice. It is easy to maintain the exterior, the paint really pops, orange peel is very difficult to see, you have many options to personalize it. You can add carbon fiber to the exterior, black wheels or chrome.

The Daytona Orange is pretty stunning, but do you think there's any chance you might get tired of it after a while? The white would be more 'conservative' of the 2 choices, if that's a consideration.
But you can always dress up the white with some stripes. I'm not much of a stripe fan, but I've seen a couple of white cars with the full length stripes lately, and they look pretty nice.
I know... not much help.

Orange. Be different. I dig the orange, just didn't wanna spend another $500 for a color. I think it would even look good with the gray interior in my shark gray vert.

I know sales manager at Chevrolet dealer. He is a personal friend. I asked him about resale. He pays more for used red (like Torch Red) and black. They sell best. I ordered Torch Red and I love it.

I would suggest visiting a dealer with multiple cars if possible. I had it narrowed down to three color choices and wanted to see them in person to decide. I hit a dealer in Miami and one in S CA on sunny days while on business. In the end I went with DSOM because, for me, I really like the way it pops in the sun - that and I've owned several red cars and wanted to go a bit different (don't get me wrong, I really like TR and CRM too). DSOM is a stunning color outside, a bit more subdued when there isn't much light on it. That said, I haven't seen a C7 color combo that I don't like - I just like some a bit more than others. I had no idea when I was looking what the numbers were for the 'most popular colors', and it wouldn't have mattered to me anyway. You like what you like - go for it regardless of what colors are most popular. In fact, it's kind of nice to have one that's different. Good luck!

Arctic White is the second most popular color in 2014, most popular in 2015. There must be a reason.
Short term ownership go wild, long term go mild... that what I did...
Of course I am biased...
