There is no bad color on this car. I went with Mag Red after Precision Red was discontinued and I have no regrets now that I have the car. I agree that silver really shows the lines well, but my C5 was silver and I wanted a change. LeMans Blue is a killer color, but then so is MY and . . .

this colour suits only a Vette C6
Just image a Porsche Boxster or 911 in that colour

I had a black Z06 and had tired of all the work in keeping it looking sharp. I was planning to get red this time, but I saw a DSOM on a sunny day, and that made my decision for me. Ordered just what I wanted, and I couldn't be happier. Get what YOU like....

I had three number 1 colors, LMB, MAG RED and SILVER. Kerbeck had the LMB so I bought it. Had they not I would have gladly taken the RED or SILVER. It was easy for me, loved all three--e

I had the same dillema.I have a white 02 SVT LIGHTNING sitting in my garage that i do not drive but 5-6 times a year.It is PRISTINE condition.I bought it for long term investment.Not financial investment but for when i turn 40 or so and want to feel like im in my 20s again.Like nostalgia.I LOVE this truck and would never part with it.
I really wanted a different color vette that you dont see everyday.After looking at all the colors in person,I found three that would work for me.yellow,victory red and white.I will keep this vette LONG term as I will my other vehicles I collect.Yellow I feel I would get sick of and you see quite a bit of them on the road.Red is just way too popular in vettes.It seems all vettes until 1997 were red.So I went with white.I ordered the car with steel grey interior not knowing what it would look like but I had the color combo in my mercedes so I thought it would look good.
Then came the surprise.I looked all over this site and all over kerbeck and all over GM sites and NOBODY stocks white vettes nevermind with steel grey inside.The ONE I did find in new england had black interior.So although I ended up with another white vehicle,It is IN FACT the rarest color and color combonation of all C6s so far.So that made me happy.oh yea,Im 29 years old now.

This one will keep you up at nights.
I ordered in August when Precision red was out and had my mind made up until I saw it side by side with Torch red. It looked on the dark side so I changed my mind after all those months the night before I placed my order. I went with the LeMans/Cashmire combination and never regret it. The car gets a lot of compliments also. It seems strange that the last build figures I saw put the blue at only 9% of the total build as of mid December.

I've had three vettes, all red, the last C5 Mag Red, but decided the LMB, Cashmere, was a color I just couldn't resist. It's just fantastic!! Watched her built in BG on 2/10(Thanks Kevin) & I know without any doubt I made the right decision.

Hmm, I have to go to my dealer and have a look at the other colours again.
Normally, as for colours, it takes my two second to decide, but with the Vette...
What was your experience concerning the colour?

The only color to me is White on the C6. The lines and detail show so prefoundly on white, and the red interior is hot on the white. Of course Im a little bias
