Just for fun ! If you could order a new corvette in any previous corvette color in the past . Which color would you choose ? I'm still trying to figure out my exterior color for my GS in spring and it got me wondering what are some of the all time favorite colors of the past. If you need you can go to PaintRef .com and they have all the past colors by year of the corvette.

My choice Marina Blue 1967

Thanks Dave

One color I would choose would be light pewter metallic. Had that on a C5 and loved the color.

Pewter is a nice blend of silver and beige. There's a pewter at a cruise night I go too and always looks sharp.

I'll take the color of the 68 I used to own-Corvette bronze and tobacco interior. Only year for tobacco-I think.

I'd go with Riverside Gold-a one year color that was on my first 'Vette- a '69 427 coupe. I really thought GM would go with a variation of gold for the 50th instead of the metallic red. Not sure how a C7 would look in gold, but if available I would probably order one to be different.
