I've always loved the dark reds and I'm hoping to see it in person soon.

Very tired of seeing black wheels on every other vette. Probably old school but I still like chrome.

Had the black cherry in my 2010 370Z, nice but hard to keep clean.

Really nice, elegant color. I could never buy one though, I have to imagine resale on that would be tough

I've never had too much trouble moving colors like this but I usually sell after a short time and they still have new car pop.

I would go with the black suede interior...

Almost any color on a C3 that has chrome looks good.

There was a C4 in the "rose" color here it sold very fast, he got a good price - a lady in her 40's purchased it.

I agree the bright reds do not look good after a few years, I think a more pure red would be better instead of torch red.

I wish the Admiral Blue had lots of metallic in it - that would make it pop better, it still is a great color.

If I was a betting person - the Silver Blue will be high in sales..

They take away Shark gray and give us eggplant. Will look awesome with some 22" spinners.

This put it over the top for me. I'm about 99% certain my Z06 will be Black Rose.


Thanks to whomever shot that video.

Yes, really. Kalahari goes perfectly with the purple, just as it goes well with Long Beach Red. Black interiors go well universally, and that's why dealers usually choose it. And pretty much any interior goes with Arctic White, kind of a universal donor. Of course, color is entirely subjective, but IMO Kalahari complements this color very well, indeed.
