Thank you; may help me with a purchase.
Green
Blue with red interior
Yellow with red interior

I would not rule those out personally but I think most would on a C5

I think we all would vote for the color of our cars , otherwise we would have bought something else . When it comes to what would be the best seller , who knows what that particular buyer will want at the time ? Maybe you will be lucky and have that color.

Highway driving what catches your eye on the other side? Yellow and red really stand out in traffic. The cop sitting on the entrance ramp sees the same thing. That being said a couple days ago I was with a dealer friend who paid waaay more for a 14K mi red/white top C5 to ship North then I could have imagined. He selected the red from similar black, blues, and silver, and this is his day job.

I am very happy with my pewter.....

I love white vettes. Only way i'd own one with another color is if I kept one that is white. My second choices would be either black or red.

White ones seem rare to find too. Took me 4-5 months to get mine.

Don't forget one of the more subjective color combos:



Yellow interior and yellow wagon wheels I know some people love them.


For the record, Pewter is one of my favorites.
