When I left the house I was set on red or shark grey. When I arrived at the dealer they had one in LB, seeing them all sitting next to each other helped me make the final decision.

I currently have a black C6, but am planning to eventually get a C7, preferably in Arctic White.

My next choice would be Laguna Blue Metallic, then Corvette Racing Yellow, then Long Beach Red Metallic.

Depends on how I feel at the time. I had my mind made up on silver, but when I saw this one, I have to admit it extended my shopping experience at the dealership longer then I will admit to. Sent theses pictures to my wife, and she was no help, saying " it's your car, do what you thinks best". Thanks hon!





After that white, gray, blue. Always have to look for what won't show dirt from my driveway.

Ended up with a convertible in Night Race Blue Metallic with Kalahari interior and Kalahari roof. Intended to buy Laguna Blue with red/black interior but the NRBM on Kalahari is just so darned nice. They had a coupe in that color and that's what changed our minds. Never look back. We get complimented all the time on our car and I'm sure it would have been the same with the other choice. Figured this will be a long term purchase and with our age we thought the NRBM would be better.

Our first choice was Laguna Blue until we saw the silver in person.

So, it's

Silver
Laguna Blue
Torch Red

Same experience here L8ter,, different colors though. We just knew Laguna Blue was a must or no deal until we saw the Silver/w Red interior. Dang it....like you it took us a bit longer to make that decision all over again.

Current is Night Race Blue. That was my second choice, but they dropped cyber grey so went NRB (and like it).

If I were getting a new one the preferences would be:

1. Watkins Glen Grey
2. Admiral Blue
3. Silver.

Although I keep saying one of these days I'm going to buy a red Corvette, cuz. . . well, everybody should have a red Corvette at some point. LOL. But I've never followed through on that. Figure it gives me the excuse to have at least one more Corvette.

1. CGM, bought off the showroom floor
2. Laguna blue (which was my 1st choice, but opted for no charge color to keep the bottom line price in the range I wanted)
3. NRB, had I been able to see it on a C7 instead of the Camaro the sales guy pointed me to.
4. The dark metallic red - not Torch
5. LRG

Two of my 3 are now history or will be soon. Don't really like any of the new colors for 2017.

Pointless to speculate.
Torch Red is the only color.
Why would anyone settle for other than their first color choice?
