Default HELP...interior colors

I'll be ordering a C7 and would love to have another Atomic Orange...Bummer it is not offered. Am now leaning heavily to White and thought the Red interior would be fine but it is too bloody red for me. Brownstone or Kalahari (sp?) may work but was sure a grey interior was offered? Am I dreaming here? Have searched the forum and see the colors mentioned above...have seen a lot of pics but no grey. Maybe I was just assuming but was sure grey was an interior color. Help me here...maybe was I having too many brews?

grey is a available interior color just not to many people buying it. Most people think it is to light.

They do offer a grey interior. I haven't seen any pics of it on the white either, but I'd bet it would look pretty nice.

Gray on White is one of the combo's I would consider. I like the light gray!

WOW, how I love these quick replys. Thanks for confirming my Alzheimers is not that advanced!!! Now, if I could see some pics of this interior. Ordered a dealers manual from the museum and should have it by mid week. Hope it contains what I am looking for.

I've done the build at the Chevrolet site and get great views of the interior. White with gray sounds fine....totally your own decision.I had a white 2005 with red interior and some people thought it was too red but I loved it. I now have a red C6 with Cashmere interior and I like that also. If and when I order a C7 it will be Crystal Red Metallic with the lighter tan interior....but YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH WHAT EVER COLOR YOU DECIDE ON...good luck and enjoy your new Stingray.

It's your decision but,I would never order unseen.I thought gray looked ok with on line photo's. Traveled to see it,NG.Check inventory's within a drive.Be patient whats the rush.Better than being wrong.

That is tomorrow's plan. There is finally a dealer in town who 'should' have two at the dealership with the gray interior. I still wish it had black carpet instead of pale gray.

I would not use the build site to evaluate interior colors. None of them look right to me, especially the gray. I take museum delivery on a LB vert with gray interior on 12/11 and I think it looks great. Be aware that the gray is a light color this year and looks nothing like what they show on the build site. There are a number of threads that have good pictures of interior colors. I think the ones that were posted of the cars at Carlisle would be a good one to search for to help you out.

As you can tell, colors are really personal choices. Whatever you pick someone is going to like it and someone is not. Don't let the haters make the decision for you. Find the right combination that works for you and the hell with everyone else. JMO!

I think the red is too red also. I'm almost sure I'm going with the natural leather look of the Kalahari.

I love my black 3LT interior. Red interior looks good or not good to me based on my mood. Black always good. Would look good with white car too.

I drove 600 mile round trip to Bloomington Gold to look at interiors in person. With a 70,000 purchase a long drive to see what you're buying worth it. Fun, too.

I've seen the gray, and the best part about it is the uniformity throughout the entire cockpit...simply stunning like a $150000 Aston-Martin..

I know, now you have to consider what i just said, sorry!

White and Kalahari go very well together.

I had a really nice interior on my C6. It had just enough red to make for nice accents but not overwhelming.

I would have ordered my C7 this way if available
