Default C7 interior color choice

Ordered a 2016 with the new yellow. I like to get the Kalahari interior, wife wants black. Seats will be the competition sports buckets.
Your opinions and any pixs of the 2015 yellow with Kalahari would be appreciated.

Sorry no pictures, but you may want to look at the brownstone. We have it on ours and it would look awesome with the yellow exterior.

I'm on my second VY Corvette and I vote for black which I chose both times. I think Kalahari goes with certain exteriors and yellow isn't one of them IMHO. I have seen pix that justify my feelings but different strokes you know.

BTW, your wife sounds very intelligent.

IMO, yellow and black are a perfect match, Kalahari would be a difficult sell down the road.

Here's a Velocity Yellow with Khalahari Comp seats. I think it looks fine. It would be rare for sure.

I love my jet black. It would look great with velocity yellow. Especially if you have black rims.

I have a vy vert with black interior looks great but I'm ordering a Laguna blue what is the thought of gray seats? Anybody have that combo feel free to tell me your thoughts, I'm taking Friday off to order my car.

We need to remember that there is no right or wrong answer. For every person who loves a certain color combination, you can find somebody who doesn't like it. It's all about what you like.

I love my Laguna Blue car with jet black interior. Other will tell me I'm crazy. Doesn't matter.

That doesn't make gray better or worse than black. It's a personal choice.

In my opinion

Black interior looks best with Yellow paint.

Kalahari interior looks best with Black paint.

Opinions on color vary. To me Yellow/Khalahari combo doesn't flow all that well together. To me, on a yellow car, the black interior looks far better than any other choice.

Yellow/Khalahari is definitely a rare combo, but only because very few prefer this combo to all the other combos, so not necessarily rare for the best of reasons.

I wonder how gray interior would look? I don't think I've ever seen a yellow car with gray interior, it certainly would be rare!

Black is......black
Brownstone is a standout!
