Default Worst color combos

Not a bash thread, more of a cautionary tale. What's the worst color combination you're seen in person?


So far, C7 - Laguna Blue w/silver stripes and black interior.


The funny part is that's close to what I wanted before the wife talked me out of it

But LB with Gray interior and the Silver stripes looks great IMO.

Not mine.

Gray and silver go good, imho, but haven't seen it in person. Black interior, not so much.

Ones worst color combo is likely someone else's best. To each their own and I render no judgments when it comes to personal taste.

It only becomes relevant if someone else is making that choice for me and I'm expected to pay the bill.

against my better judgement, I'll bite

Yellow with a gray interior has got to be awful!

When you're building a car on the Chev site, different computers yielded different looks. If we can save someone a little disappointment, why not?

Some people like the Superman look and go with Blue and a D50 override for a Red interior. I know they made some 1996 GS's with this combo but would not be something I would want. Also not a fan of Kalahari with a Black exterior.

The worst that I thought was yellow with a red interior.

The advantage of black and white is that they go with every color.

Just something inherently wrong with a tan or brown interior in a blue (or gray) car.....

Some would be better with body painted exterior vents. I know my long beach red color, in my opinion, looks significantly better with the vents painted. The stock black just didn't cut it for me with that color. But then again I am not the norm because I don't like chrome wheels with any version of red. Just the simple silver painted aluminum. So the money I spend on body painted vents, I save by just going with stock wheels. To each their own, and I'm glad there are so many options. With that all said I have never seen a Corvette in any color I didn't like. Its just one degree or another.

It would be nice if the build software would reflect the color top chosen for a convertible, but it always displays the top in black. That's no help.

The McDonalds mobile...

Yellow with red interior and red calipers.

A rare combo that I have only seen on here once but I'm curious on how it would look is NRB with AR interior.

I'm searching now for a C7 vert. Thought I hit on a good one at a reasonable price. Then I saw it was Torch Red with a kalahari top, and kalahari interior. Some may like it, but I just can't say I'm one.
