Interesting data. Surprised at CRM and LBT numbers.

It would be nice to see them kill NRB. I want to be more exclusive! It was this or Shark Gray.
I have zero regrets and get many compliments with NRB

Top color choice ?
What I'm wondering is will a white convertible with the spice red interior package come with a red or black top ?

If only! 63-64 Stingrays in Daytona Blue with bright red interior were outstanding. It looked so close to black that the red interior didn't clash at all. A C7 in that color with adrenaline red interior would really pop!

Thanks Mike. 
Picking out the color on my GS and my yet to be built Stingray was the hardest part of my Corvette option selections. Night race blue was in consideration on both cars. About this time of year in 2012, GM made the same move on pulling the color plug early and coincidentally one was a blue (super sonic) and the other was orange (inferno).
In your decades of ordering thousands of Vettes in hundreds of flavors, it would be interesting to know if you've developed a method to push customers who have trouble selecting a color, toward a process of elimination of sorts to come to a conclusion with confidence.
LeMans blue. Bring it back.

I suspect in some cases the % is so low (colors) they are not listed.
As for the Stingray Converts, I do not know why they are not listed.

Oh I realize that aspect of the post. I was not in any way contesting your information. I was simply surprised to see percentages for gray and kalahari missing.

I totally understand. Just wanted to make the disclaimer I am not the one who compiled the data. Thanks, much appreciated.
