Silver C6 boring?
While looking for my first corvette, I've seen some good deals on silver corvettes (05-06)... is it just me, or do they look a little plain compared to the other colors?

i've had lot's of black cars and trucks and love black but i'll never get another. this is the first silver i've ever owned and love it. other than washing it (it even looks good dirty) it's virtually no maintenance. i love the brighter colors but thought they would wear on me after a while. if it's attention you want a vette gets plenty. color doesn't make any difference.

We all like different things, including the color of car we drive. I vaguely recall reading that silver was one of the most popular car colors in recent years. Silver wouldn't be my choice for a Corvette but it's all good. Vive la différence!

When looking for my 2010, production had ceased, so had to shop. My first color choice was Blade Silver. No offense to previous silver owners, like them, but thought the Blade Silver had more pop. Couldn't find one with my options, so ended up towards the other end of the spectrum.
Even before Blade Silver, always thought about any silver with a red interior... Didn't end up with one, but wouldn't have been unhappy if I did.
Silver is cool!!

Silver, grey, vettes are boring colors for a sports car.
Silver is the primer color waiting for the paint job.
Just look at the cars on the road, Silver, White, Black.
If your gonna have a flashy car, get a sharp color for it

If you're buying a used C6, the color should not be the determining factor when there are so many other considerations of much greater importance.
If you are fortunate enough to find the right car and your ideal color, consider yourself lucky.

I have to be honest here when I first got my machine Silver I was not sold on the color but I got such a good deal I went ahead and got it. After having it for a few weeks it grew on me but after I saw the way it reflects light in certain light conditions I was hooked. In the sun it shines like a mirror and under a light at night it is another sight to see. Here is some examples of my Machine Silver under different lighting and or under the sun.
