That is a horrible combination! Ouch!

How about a '14 Lime Rock Green with a Red interior.
I tried to find a picture of this combo but failed. Was there one?

Laguna Blue with red interior and Orange stripes. REALLY? What was going through their minds...and why would the salesman allow this?

Exactly. If it's not a color combo you like, don't buy it. Everyone has different tastes and GM tries to accommodate them.

That would be hideous, but apropos for the season.

Saw a sunset orange vert with the Kalahari top and Kalahari interior, not great!
Its interesting about tan type color interiors. I have been watching a 1991 ZR1 ,Red with the tanish interior on CL for a year, priced very well,now 20K lowish mileage and no takers, I even know the car as a good car seeing it at events, The tan in them is more yellowy and shiny, not like Kalahari . Maybe our C7s will be in the same spot eventually.

You know what the worst combo is , black exterior and black interior. What dummy gets this ? Oh , me !
I'm not a fan of colored interiors but that twighlight blue looks AWESOME. If ordered my car I would have picked that.

I saw a Cyber Gray vert with a Kalahari top and interior and chrome Z51 wheels.
Wanted it to grow on me, but just didn't work.

Funny you mention that combo. Recently a Corvette site stated that there were five 2014 Lime Rock Green Stingrays built with Adrenalin red interiors.
That's definitely controversial but I do know a local Z06 in Nightrace blue with Adrenalin red interior that looks great.
(This whole thread is pretty unkind, bashing other peoples' pride and joy. Every combo mentioned here is owned and loved by somebody.)

But since you asked.....
The aforementioned Velocity Yellow and Lime Rock Green with red interior wouldn't work for me either.
What really stands out for me are the exterior color and caliper choices.
For my taste, I'm not a fan of red calipers on yellow, metallic red or orange cars. I'd go with black or gray for those exterior colors.
LOVE yellow calipers on Laguna Blue, Shark Gray, and Black cars.
That would leave the red calipers for Arctic White, Blade Silver, and Torch Red.
Again, just my personal taste.

Ugg, I was going to post the same thing. Reminds me of ketchup on scrambled eggs.

I may be in the minority here, but I actually like the Yellow with red interior and red calipers, I have seen it in person and thought it looked great.
Like the saying goes different strokes for different folks.

Yeah, my Brownstone interior on Laguna Blue is awful (but I get lots of compliments):

I saw a limerock green at a car show with kalahari top and interior ... and silver stripes. The stripes, IMO, ruined the look of an otherwise beautiful ride.

And the hurt feelings have started.
Seriously though who cares who likes what. That brownstone looks cool but seems to fit a real luxury car better than a sports car.

(just in case it wasn't clear, I love this combo; I think it looks stunning)

You look at it in any color and you just have to say WHY!!?
