As that great photo earlier in the thread shows, the color shifts a lot depending on lighting.

DSOM all the way!! Rare color plus the Le Mans Blue looks better only on the 04 Z06 with the stripe package.

I am still trying to decide if I want to go back in debt and get a 05 or 06. But if I do it; it will be orange for me. I just think orange with a set of polished and black wheels is SWEET.

Obviously have and opinion on this, and the verdict is BLUE

Blue is a very interesting color because it is, on the one hand, crisp, cool and sophisticated, especially in the morning or evening. It is a dressed-up, classy color during those times, and completely appropriate for a night on the town. At other times however, it can be absolutely electric! Like a bolt of lightning. Stunning and an exciting vision in the bright sunlight. Blue all the way.

I'm the proud owner of a DSOM coupe, and had my choice of colors...

I think the orange has more character.

DSOM is really sharp. Almost got one but feared that in 2 yrs I'd tire of it. Think Blue

i too was having a lot of trouble deciding between the orange and blue. i was almost set on orange until i visited a dealership and was able to see them both at the same time... and BLUE was my choice by far.
The best advice i can give you is to see them with your own eyes... LIVE!!! no photographs....
