White has always been about my favorite car color mainly because in the Southland it is white and reflects the heat better. Figured on a Corvette I'd do something totally out of character to get black on black. Why? To initiate conversation with friends who all said "no white?" Aye yuh. On a side note, black really does require either a garage or a lot of time.



My black dust magnet. BB-64 remains Battleship gray.

Lime Rock Green paint with Brownstone interior... Both beautiful, unfortunately both out of production too. Will be a desireable/collectible combo someday.

When I started my search, I listed a number of exterior/interior color combinations. But when I saw Cyber Gray with Kalahari interior, that did it. Had to have one. I've not seen one, but would bet the Watkins Glen Gray with Kalahari interior would look just as good.
I like the CG/Kalahari combo so much it's in my avatar.

Well to tell the truth I like almost every combination. And until the C7 came along I wasn't really too keen on white Vettes. However, when I saw how the white showed the lines and creases of the Stingray and contrasted with the Carbon Flash scopes & vents plus popped in the sun...I was hooked and so was my wife!! So even now, even though I had the first white with red interior in our Corvette Club (now they're all over like marshmallows ) we still love this combo.

Just sayin'

I agree Mike. The wife, and I were never high on silver Vettes until we saw the Blade Silver on the C7. The C7's do have a way of making colors look different with the lines, and creases along with it's black accents. i.e. vents etc.

I love my Lime Rock Green over Brownstone. Both are now retired, so I'm extra happy to have it.

I owned a '98 black with tan top and interior. The combo was probably my favorite, but it was a PITA to keep clean. My current color is Admiral Blue with a gray top and interior and I, of course, love it.

No factory color combo on the c7 grabs your attention more then the GS with the heritage package in admiral blue/white stripe/adrenaline red hash marks and interior!

I'm curious to see your replies here! If possible, please include a photo or two! Hopefully it's a picture of your personal one


Here is one of my favorites: Watkins Glenn Gray with Adrenaline Red Interior!

Would like much better if it was a 3LT and competition seats.
