PEWTER - Black roof - black interior - chrome rims cant beat it, one classy colour combo.
Yellow - you will get tired of it
Black - beware of birds
White - blah
silver - ok
Navy blue with tan roof - ok
green - only on jags and english sports cars
red - italian sports cars
electron blue - surfer dude
plum purple - like it - wife says its a girl colour

Perfect! I surf and have an EB Z. The planets must all be aligned for me.
Here it is trying to catch some waves without me:
Don't happen to have any leads on surf racks for a Z do you?

White always shows imperfections the least.
I prefer the tan, since all my vettes had top down abilities as opposed to the FRC or Z06, and in the hot FL sun I certainly appreciate the tan interior.
Be careful getting in and out, use your hand on the door sill and avoid the side bolster and it will reduce any wear there which is weak spot.
Good luck and enjoy.

My favorite is black, but after about four months of looking i found this Artic White one. Besides when you're lookin at used cars, it's not like you you can say " you got one of these in black". After i did a few mods, i'm really glad i got the white. It doesn't show dirt that bad.
I've had quiet a few people want to buy it lately because as they say
"it looks so clean and bright".

1.) Medium Spiral Gray (Fell in love with it under the dealer showroom lights) The black interior/convertibel top also looks great with it
2.) Magnetic Red II - it really pops in the sun and the Mag Red II/Black interior was originally my first choice when I went shopping.
3.) Nassau Blue - Looks great with either the lighter or darker interior.

Until recently, I would've said "Black, of course! Do they come in any other color?" But since I started looking, I've fallen in love with Electron Blue! Black would be a close second choice, and I'd be very happy with it. I wouldn't turn down White one if I found a really good deal on one. So:
#1 EB
#2 Black
#3 White
#4 Any other factory Vette color (they all look good!)

When I was looking for a C5 I was hoping to find an electron blue but I ran across the Pewter one that I now own and loved it.
If I get another one it will be some type blue if not pewter.
