Default MY compared to VY

I was out to SD this summer and they had MY C5 next to a MY 06.I was hoping to see the diifference.What is the difference between the MY and the VY more yellow or what? Just an opinion is needed. No right or wrong reply. Is it better or worse.

From what I saw at the C5/C6 bash last April, the VY is a more bright yellow than the MY. Havent really gotten a good look at one since.

Velocity yellow is much ligher, more of a lemon yellow, where as MY is more of a mustard yellow.

If you meant you compared a MY C5 to a MY C6, there is no difference, MY is MY, and there were plenty of MY C6's made before they phased the color out....but that is not VY.

Put side by side, the difference is very obvious. I've seen both MY C6's and VY C6's, and can tell them apart instantly without even seeing them side by side, but then again I own an MY car, and am all too familiar with the color.
