Black
Brownstone
Dark gray on a Z06 might look good

Im interested in seeing the DSOM with the Z06 3LZ blue interior...I think that will look amazing.

Huh? It seems you are referring to Brownstone, but Brownstone is not available in the Z06. 3LZ is a Z06 trim level.

For DSOM Stingray, Black or Brownstone.
For DSOM Z06, Black or Dark Gray.

For some reason I thought it was available as an option color at the 3LZ trim level of the Z06. I must be mistaken... apologies.

Brownstone or black. Had a C6 Atomic Orange with black, but if I were to order a new 2015 DSOM it would have Brownstone.

Wow, that's going to be my 2016 model when it gets time to order them, minus the black mirrors, to me the orange mirrors look better

This is why I didn't chose DSOM. I want a 2LT, and like the contrast in the interior colors, so black is out for me. It is, however, one of the few colors that look "right" with the DSOM exterior in my opinion.

Oh, and Fred, I am not sure whether it is white balance or what is going on with your camera, but the only pic that you posted that looks like DSOM is the last one. The rest almost look torch red! The one shot low down of the door which has the mirror peaking over the top - look at the color of the door jam and the mirror. Door jam is red, mirror is orangey - closer to DSOM.

I will once again advise that you really need to see these things in person to make a judgement and not rely on your mind's eye or pictures. I have been fooled a couple of times now as I search for my pick of color combination into thinking that I had made my choice. Not until I saw the shark gray with adrenaline interior on a 2LT did I decide. You have to see it in person to be sure.

I agree. My iPhone never seems to capture the true color. I post pictures of the 2005 DSOM next to the 2015 DSOM and looking at them they were shades different but the iPhone pictures made them look almost the same.

I too ordered a '15 DSOM 2LT Z51 with the hood stinger,,,but went for Black interior AND I did add the RED calipers with glossy black rims....My '14 was Crystal Red with Adrenaline red interior...and will probably go back to that when I trade in 2015...if I ever get it.

Go with black. Then contact leather seats.com and have some custom matching orange inserts to your liking to make a custom look and would really compliment the cars color.

I agree with people who say see it in person as these colors are hard to judge.
I'm considering dsom/brownstone myself.
