Different Color?

If you had to pick a color for your Vette different from what you currently have, which would you choose?

You can make more than one choice.

I couldn't vote. I prefer my Monterey Red to all other colors.

But my custom color choice would be a Charcoal color. I'm suprised that Gm doesn't offer charcoal, I think it would look great.

hmm, I went with Silver. I'm not saying it is even my 2nd favorite (atomic orange is) color, but it is the choice. Since I use my BLK C6 as a daily driver, I should have probably went with a color that could stay a little dusty/dirty without looking bad. I still would wash the heck out of it, but it would be a lot of easier!

-I still love my vader mobile though!

The Peweter a few years back was like a light charcoal - really sharp

There was a Polo Green Metallic and a Polo Green II Metallic (1992 & 1993 only) from 1990 through 1996. 1997 and 1998 had a Fairway Green Metallic.

Dark Bowling Green Metallic was in MY 2000. Dark Bowling Green was in MY 2001.

Actually, I have a bad memory. But I've had a 1 or 2-year old copy of the Corvette Black Book for the last 8-10 years. It sure has a lot of info. in it. Of course, I've been crazy about vettes since my 67 in 67.

About 100 others have more. Being retired helps.

I've had 4 other differently colored vettes, but red just seems more like THE vette color, unless you're talking about a black Z06.
