Need some help please
I've found a dealer who is giving me a really good deal on a C6 coupe order and I'm going to order this week. Here is the problem, color. I really like the LMB in sunlight. I'm not so impressed with LMB in low light and cloudy conditions. I've never seen a LMB at night and I'm curious what it looks like at night. So I'm wondering if any one has night pics of LMB. If someone does I'd appreciate you posting them.
If I don't go with LMB then it will be MSM. Like so many others I like the way the lines show. I also think I looks elegant in low light and shadowed. I've never been so torn on color selection of a car.
My '96 and '99 were both torch red. I'm going to be keeping my Mazdaspeed Miata as my daily driver. It's red and I don't want 2 red cars. Plus while I still love my sports cars, I don't feel the need to be as...in your face anymore.
Oh no, does this mean I'm getting older and even worse growing up?

I went with DSOM only because LMB was on constraint when I ordered.
Anyway, I'm pleased with my choice, esp because it's a real standout.
I feel that the LMB is just too dark. Nice, but too dark, esp at night. LMB is too subdued a color choice for me. If it was up to me the blue would be lighter and brighter.
As far as getting older, I hope that we all are.
I'd bet that the average age of a silver C6 owner is the oldest.

At night it looks dark, almost black. But most of the matallic flake colors lose something at night. My mag red coupe looks much better in the sunlight.
