Yes, that may be my 2nd favorite C6 color

And then there's DSOM, which would be my 2nd choice behind IOM , then Atomic. And JSB is also one of my all-time favorite colors.

Orange is my favorite color on almost any car. This color is outstanding. I wonder how it would look on my 86, or is that a no-no....

congrats on a beautiful ride!

I thought Inferno Orange would have sold better than it did. I like it.
Given the demographic primarily buying Corvettes, I'm not surprised at the production numbers. The non-"flashy" colors always seem to sell more (minus red of course).

My bride hates orange cars. I keep showing her pics of Jab’s and Atomic’s, I think she’s warming up!

Personally, I love them!

Inferno Orange definitely gets a lot of attention and positive comments. This was mine until I traded for a C7.

Most people don't know this, but Inferno Orange is also the fastest color.

The best "orange" GM ever put on the Corvette. That includes the current orange on the C7. I was surprised when GM dropped it.

What's interesting about the Inferno Orange color - Toyota has it too! I've seen it on the Tacoma, Tundra, RAV4, and 4 Runner. I wonder if GM licensed the color to Toyota after they retired it.

I think the Toyota orange is darker than Inferno

IOM is definitely my favorite color and yes UT has completely ruined any shade of burnt orange. A&M defected to the SEC so no one cares about them anymore! Guns UP!

Went to the Baltimore Orioles baseball game on Father's Day . . . . I know it's a C7, but here's another orange Corvette, on display just outside the stadium . . . .
