C5 Colors by Year

I put together a spreadsheet for myself but thought others might be interested so I put it on my web site.

http://www.z06guru.com/colors.htm

I haven't double checked all the totals so am not 100% sure all the #s are right, especially 2004, of course. But they are pretty close I bet...

Are you referring to the One of a kind "Going for the Gold" Car that was raffled by the NCM? (7th pic down at the link.) I believe the person who won sold it, but I don't remember to whom. It might have been to one of the big Corvette dealers.

Yeah, I left off the unique ones. There's a purple one in 2000(?) also and a couple other very low number colors. Maybe I'll go back and add those in for completeness.

Good catch, I thought that was a typo in my source... I think that is the only time GM brought back an old color name, if true (at least for Vettes.
Also I can't find a breakdown for Mag Red 1 and 2 and if the 2004 Mag Red is the same as one of them or more like Anniv. Red. But I'm still looking...

Nice spreadsheet, thanks for sharing. For 2004 it should be Machine Silver, replacing Quicksilver.

As I understand it, Mag Red II came out midyear of 2000 production. Also, looking at the color panel at the factory, the 2004 Mag Red appears to be the same as that used in 2000.
