Would be a good comparison picture to have Blade Silver, Sterling Blue and Carlisle Blue sitting next to each other. Maybe at the Corvettes at Carlisle show next week
From my observation I would say that if the Blade Silver is a 0 for blue, and Carlisle Blue is a 10 for blue, I would give Sterling Blue maybe a 3 or 4 if that makes sense...

Sounds like exactly the color I want, don't care for blue in general (not just for cars) and didn't think silver was the best color for a Vette. But have had two red Vettes, yellow and my 40th Anniversery "dark purple" was closer to Black Rose. Thought I'd try a different color and the pic of the Sterling Blue Vert in my posts 11 & 14 looks great, IMO. Have to see in person.
Here are the pics I took of one at the Museum last Thursday (18th):
The pic sure looks good! Thanks, great pics.
Wonder if those are the nickel plated aluminum wheels? I'm back to having Sterling Blue as my probable GS color! Think the more matte nickel finish would be better than chrome with SB, but like the body color looking forward to seeing both in person.
Half the fun of buying a new Corvette is the "bench buying" before hand! I have time!
Saw the Sterling Blue at Carlisle yesterday--beautiful color! To me it looks silver with just enough blue mixed in to make it pop.
Thanks. Looking more like the color I'll get. What color interior did it have?
Just realized what I thought was "nickel plated" wheels is just the paint color! Wondered why it was 0 cost! Perhaps machined aluminum faced wheels would look good with SB?
Saw Sterling Blue at dealer last week . I thought the car looked great it had gray interior and a blue top. I was wondering how it would look with the Twilight Blue interior and the wheels that come with the Twilight package? My first thought was to order a AW Spice Red interior. But it seems every time I see a C7 go by it's AW so I'm thinking of Sterling Blue with carbon stinger hood and mirrors to add a little more contrast. Plus my wife just loves the Sterling Blue ! This could be a win win situation.

Here's my Carlisle Blue so if I purchase a C7 it would be Sterling Blue. I am partial to the silver/blue blend. I would do a blue interior and blue hash stripes (if I did use them). I would love to see both colors side by side.
I like the Sterling Blue, I like the Twilight Blue interior and wheels that come with package. Just haven't seen the two blues together. Was thinking carbon stinger hood and mirrors . If I went with hash marks carbon to add contrast . It's down to SB or AW with Spice Red interior. leaning to SB if blue interior looks good together.
Sterling Blue Roadster 7M
Twilight Blue interior with included wheel package
Blue Top
Z06 with/without Z07 package
Could this car have been optioned or is it a combination that was not offered?
I love my '14 White Roadster Z51 3LT 7M Mag Ride but would like the extra power. My current car has the light gray interior and I like the way it blends into the black pieces you get on any interior. As much as I like red and some other flashy colors, they just contrast too much with the black parts. The gray doesn't draw as much attention to the (I think) cheap black parts. I have the carbon fibre interior and exterior package and love the contrast with the white on the mirrors and spoiler.
