Default What Color For The Unveil?

What color do you predict they'll unveil the C7 in?

If they use a current / standard color I say yellow.

Another Topic: Anyone else surprised an actual photo has not been leaked of the C7 yet?

This topic ran earlier but what the heck it is very slow now waiting on Keeks or the OX to get back in the kitchen and cook something up.

I'll say it will be silver or white. I don't think it will be yellow.

I figured the topic most likely already came up, seems like every C7 topic has. I guess the only new C7 topic left is an actual photo and a list of all the colors that will be offered.

Black, the design looks best in a darker color.

Welburn brought the original Stingray racer to Jay Leno's garage and there is a good video currently floating around. Anyway , Welburn is just nuts over this car and for that reason I think he will first show the C7 in Sliver. After watching the video I do believe the C7 Vert will look fantastic in Silver.

They seem to use white a lot for special editions and anniversaries so I say white although I think the only colour for a sport car should be red

I originally thought Red, as thats probably the most popular Corvette colour.

But I get a feeling the reveal car will be white, with the red interior. Not only is the most distinct, contrasting colour. But its a tribute to the '53. And the white paint will show off the new body panels better than any other car. The overlay in white, really convinced me how much depth & dimension is in the rear-end. And really shows how much it does NOT look like the Camaro's rear.

Although this has no relevance, I will guess a metallic grey.

IMO both, a red coupe and a silver vert like for the C6.

But that red for the C6 was a new color, PR, so maybe another new color will replace either red or silver at the reveal.

I'd like to change my guess from the other thread. I think it's gonna be pink.
