I like blue better than silver. That said, with the OP's red interior and lack of enthusiasm for constant dusting, Silver is the best choice. Looks killer with a red interior, and looks clean when it's dirty. Red interiors work with blues, but IMO, only dark blues. A light or bright blue with red interior looks wrong.....IMO.

Agree. Given the OPs preferences, I’d pick a beautiful silver over the red interior. It’s gorgeous and classic. I had a silver SWC and it was the easiest car to take care of I’ve ever had.

When I was looking, I wanted Blue with white interior or Silver with red interior. I like both and ended up with blue/white. Get lots of compliments on the combination. Also get white interior haters.

Dark blue is hard, but the lighter blues are not. Trophy Blue, or the recent Carlisle Blue don't show dust easily........

More blue for ya!!
I love the dark Daytona Blue, even though it is some work to keep clean, I still enjoy every minute of it.

blue only way to go
I know it's not a C2 but my opinion is blue always pops silver jut does not have that same appeal once again this is my opinion. I had my Lemans blue ceramic coated cleaning never an issue dust does not stick and if she need a cleaning I just use water and dry her with a blower ,fast and easy.

Personal choice is the king of the color spectrum. Silver is not my color. Its bland and has no life ( again personal ) Daytona blue a second to silver. I am so fortunate to have two Daytona blue coupes. Even as a split window a repaint will not be this shade of blue. I like marina blue , red of course, or a dark shade of grey like high end Lexus or Mercedes shades.
Current paint formulas have such depth, color, and resilience. I am not into original C-2 shades. The next buyer will love the car even more with a bright attractive hue.
