New '66 Vette owners could select, black, white or beige for the top color based against the body color with some restrictions. So you can pretend to be the first owner and pick a top color that coordinates with your body color. Some people (other than original owners) may have been lucky to get dealer invoices with color details that were saved down the line of owners.

It can be a personal choice or aesthetic, I have seen beige for a real contrast, but black may be the best and, who knows, the original. Your car, your way! Dennis

DennisAl Knoch shows no white tops for 1966. only tan or black. as of 04-19-2020 on their webstite. They have tan on tan, tan on black, and black, and dark blue. Wonder why no white offered?
Mine had white vinyl top now, but I think I want the Tan on Tan here in SA. I think I will put Vintage Air on it soon. Hot as heck down here. Thx, Zale

Yet the Corvette Black Book shows that top color breakdown for '66 soft tops was:
7,259 Black
8,789 White
411 Beige
Still, with no paperwork or evidence to validate or disprove one's choice, you can pick the color that you want.
