C7 Colors?
So, what colors do you think will be carried over from the C6? Preferences/wishes for new colors? My wish, a shade of silver/gray, i.e., darker than BladeSilver, lighter than Cyber Gray.

What I think will be carried over:
Black
Cyber Gray Metallic
Velocity Yellow Tintcoat
Blade Silver Metallic
Arctic White
I bet they try a different red and a different metallic red, and one other color. They'll probably restrict the colors for the first couple of months of production.
What I wish for? Deep purple. Not plum, not black rose, not basically-gray-metallic, but real purple. I don't think they've ever built a real purple Corvette. And I know it's not gonna happen. But that's my wish.

My first Corvette was a '69 427 in Riverside Gold. It was a one year color, and I wouldn't mind seeing it or a variation of it on a C7. It would at least be something different than the muted blues/grays they seem to be promoting. A variation of the C1/C2 Honduras/Marlboro Maroon would also be a good choice coupled with a dark saddle interior.

New colors for C7
I think that they need to finally offer White Diamond on the C7! I also just saw a new Summer Gold color on the 2013 Cadillac CTS & ATS........it looks very close to the 1969 Riverside Gold Corvette!

I'd like to see a nice DEEP yellow or orange. I liked the Jet Stream Blue on C6s, and I think cars are trending away from deep colors. The last two good deep colors I've seen on a Vette were Electron Blue and Millennium Yellow.
My C7 may end up being white. I'm not a fan of red at all. I'd like something bright, but I'm worried the Yellow is going to be even more washed out like it was on the C6 as compared to the C5. And I'm worried the blue is going to be more washed out too.

I saw that gold Cadillac ! I agree that it would make for a very flashy Corvette color!
