Almost always, and Corvettes definitely fall into this category....Black is the most appealing looking color when all shined up. When one takes a black car/truck and puts it side by side next to any other color....the black looks the best....unless of course any particular person happens to own the other color......
All Corvettes are born red. Unfortunately, somewhere between the end of the assembly line and the showroom they catch a virus. Unfortunately, once they catch that virus the cure can be very expensive and so you are stuck with whatever color the virus may have caused. My current Vette caught the La Mans Blue virus.

Understood. And my current Vette came with the "born on" color of red. But i'm not so bias and in denial to admit that while red is the second best color for a Corvette, or any sports car for that matter....Black is still king. A black Astin Martin Vanquish is simply the finest looking car ever made.....

Mine also caught that LeMans Blue virus. But I'm OK living with it.

Looks awesome in the sun, rare color, really stands out and gets stares wherever you go. Plus I’ve always loved orange

You know, when I first looked at purchasing a C6, Red was the color that I googled online at the sites that sold Corvettes. My next was Black, followed by White.
I then Saw this beauty, and fell in lust.
I mean, VY is the fastest color by far, just ask the GTLM Corvette race drivers. They could of picked any color, but they chose yellow
Case Closed!!!

Red or black. They look great on all corvette styles, all years, and are a bit more exciting than white.

I believe the book says it all, "All Corvettes are Red".
My 2003 was Torch Red with Light Oak Interior
My 2013 is Torch Red with Cashmere Interior

C3 has to be white

My personal favorite is Velocity Yellow because it stands out so much and gets a lot of attention.....

LeMans Blue.

Though given enough lottery winnings, Nassau Blue would be preferable:

DSOM as it was my first Vette and I looked really hard to find a C7 in my price range with the option I wanted before I bought my GS. Next would be IOM as it was my first Camaro and I would trade my CRM GS in a heart beat for a similar equipped GS in IOM.

IOM was what my Camaro was

The reason they have so many colors is that people have so many preferences. If it's a Vette, any color looks great!

All of the colors have their own unique impact on the c6 but I went with black.
