I was leaning towards Night Race Blue, but my wife likes Cyber Gray. She is picking the color and I am picking the options.

I miss having the red interior but GM doesn't offer it on the 4lt, 3zr, or 1sc groups.

How about the colors you mentioned with the brown interior? CG black top, brown.

I would love to see a REAL picture of this color combo. In person would be even better.

Black Z51 vert, silver wheels, and saddle interior for me!

I liked CRM and TR, but need a change for my C7.

I kinda like it. Its not too dark and when you get up close there's some nice blues showing through. I definitely wouldn't put it on too many cars, but here it really does look stunning.

The darker colors definitely diminish the harsh contrast between the carbon flash and the body color. Because of the carbon flash paint the rear has an unwarranted delineation that just does not coalesce with the overall design aesthetic of the car. There is however one exception and that being the color white where the contrast is expected.

My suggestion and it would be great if I had the time to Photoshop it would be to re-paint the back carbon panel to match the body color but add 40-45% gray to the OEM paint. This will use color more effectively to soften the transition point from valance to the upper rear yet preserving the original intention of the designers . Essentially you are changing the hue and saturation point of the valance so it will blend and will IMHO remove the conspicuous break line [ obstructing the flow of the rear design] which is now in an overly high contrast state.

Default Color choice is so personal...

It is interesting to me in reading the many posts concerning what is the "best" color on the C7. In all my other car purchases, I always knew within literally 2 minutes what color I wanted. Perhaps this is a compliment to the C7 but it looked SO GOOD to me in a variety of colors, that, for the first time in my life, I couldn't decide (some people always have trouble making decisions, what is strange in this scenario is I am the opposite type of person) so what to do...

I went to the Chicago Auto Show to see it in person (all they had was the torch red), I went down to Bowling Green KY to the plant at the Bash and saw laguna blue, crystal red, black, night race blue in person.

I was leaning heavily towards cyber grey or crystal red prior to that trip and what happened shocked me. I thought the laguna blue looked amazing (never had or wanted a blue car) and the blade silver was absolutely stunning. Also amazing in that I never wanted a silver car.

Here is the most hilarious part of my story, what did I end up ordering (I made the first consensus so I will have one of the first stingrays out there) ARTIC WHITE Again, this is bizarre for me as my C6 was triple black vert, my C5 was mag red, and I normally find white cars boring.... But I saw a picture of an artic white with adrenaline red interior red calipers and black wheels with carbon black spoiler and mirrors with clear carbon hood. This contrast, along with the vents, rear, wheels, and tinting the windows will to my tastes, look stunning.

I really think the C7 looks amazing in almost any color, so, enjoy your new stingrays and I can't wait to see them all at a big national corvette event

I have gone through the same process. Artic white is stunning. If I do order this year, it will be that exact combination.

Depends where you live. I live in Florida and black interior verts are not a good idea in the summer.

I had a hard time between the night race blue and the crystal red tint....the wife decided for me and we went with the crt. I don't much care for lighter color interiors and I didn't want all black either so we went with brownstone int.....not sure how that combo will look but I fell in love with the brown so that's what I ordered. Keeping my fingers crossed.
