Color is very important. When I created my spreadsheet to track new and used C7s before I purchased, the list had three must haves, must be one of the six colors I could accept, within my price range and must have NPP.
So color is important, but there were several I could have gone with. Cyber Gray, the one I bought, was at the top of the list.

I was originally going woth LBR but once I laid eyes on this shark gray with twilight blue design pkg that mandates the shark gray vents I fell in love with it. And I was NEVER a fan of shark gray in pics lol. Even talked a friend out of ordering one!
And color was a huge problem for me..at carlisle this year I was more confused after I came home then when we went lol

For me, color is the top priority. Certain options I can live without.

Most interesting topic. After having multiple white cars which are nice in the south, when i bought my Corvette, my first, i had to have black. First black car in 10 years but i love it because I have a garage and other cars so I am able to keep it clean. Dirty black looks terrible and black gets dirty quickly. My color choices on cars are white, black, blue and red. I currently have vehicles with black, white, silver, blue, gold, blue and red. Trucks both blue. For Corvettes I was so tempted to get red because, well it's red but figuring the way I drive, better not.

Silver with Black interior is my favorite combo. Not a popular combo in Vette Convertibles though. Silver with Red, yes, but not Silver with Black. My friends were bustin' on me as I was scrolling through Kerbeck's online inventory back in late summer 2015 and with over 200 cars to choose from, they didn't have what I wanted in stock so I special ordered exactly what I wanted...no regrets.
