If I had my druthers I would have preferred that GM resurrected the beautiful Sebring Silver of the1963 Stringray for the C7. Blade Silver is beautiful, but Sebring Silver is the classic silver for a Stingray.

My 2015 Z51 coupe will be BS. Silver was never a color I cared for on previous models but it really seems to show the lines of the C7 so much better than the other available colors in my opinion.

Previous colors I've owned are Goodwood Green, 67 BB roadster, Mossport Green, 66 SB roadster, 2 tone Silver/Gunmetal, 78 Silver Anniversary, Sunflower Yellow 72 BB roadster. Notice my preference in the past was for roadsters. The C7 coupe is so much more distinctive looking than the roadsters in my opinion.

My C5 was Sebring and my C7 is Blade. Both great colors but if I HAD to choose, I would go Sebring.
