Is Velocity Yellow becoming a more popular color?
I'm just curious about thoughts on this. I love the color. But in 07 VY only accounted for 9.3% along with Atomic Orange. White was the only color to sell less. 2013 stats don't show any real increase in VY sales. Yet, as I look around at at the pictures posted by new Vette owners, I notice what seems to be more than 10% VY corvettes
What's your thoughts? Is VY becoming more popular? Or am I noticing VY moreso because that's the color I own? Just a curious question.

I was never a big fan of Yellow, but when I saw a C7 in Yellow with the carbon flash package and black wheels, I had to have one, and now I do! 
The problem with yellow in the past, for me anyway, was there was just too much yellow. Now that the C7 has sharper lines with the black vents and black rear end, there is much more contrast. To me, this is why yellow looks so great on the C7.

C7 looks great in Velocity Yellow w/ the contrasting vents in CFM plus add the black Z51 rims too.

I know of at least one Velocity Yellow fan. When I visited the BG plant before the GA for the C7, the plant manager was driving this car as his personal "test" car.

.Yes, but not to the same extent. Yellow is much more "in your face" than red. That being said, I am not fan of red cars, period.

Not if 2013 production stats mean anything - only 4.5% were velocity yellow.

I had a 07 VY until I got my C7. I always received a lot of good comments from Vette and non Vette people. The color is eye catching. And, polished well it shines like crazy.
