If black is out, you really only have one other good choice, Kalahari. Light gray would be blah. Brownstone would be good, but it hasn't been available since 14-15.

GM should have offer orange/black interior with the new orange. But once again they dropped the ball!!!

Sure, if there were such a choice, it would be a good one. Almost every other manufacturer also offers a Taupe/light Tan leather interior, and I don't understand why GM doesn't offer that in the C7

Gray interior is either unavailable with Sebring Orange or it is a color combo over ride.

I think you could use Kalahari and have 1 car very hard to resell.

A guy was saying he had a rare Corvette color combo no one ordered. Wonder why? You find out when you go to resell it why no one ordered
it.

I would maybe do a gray but be careful what you get you could regret not getting black.

Hard not to go with black, but Kalahari might work. Also might consider two-tone option with Kalahari. I really like my two-tone interior.

Black interior with orange stitching looks good! I'm sure the fabric pens will come in handy here.

Think Kalahari would look very nice, and is really the only option other than black.

They are offering an orange design package for the interior with the orange exterior

"The debut ZR1 comes in a special SebringOrange Design Package that adds orange paint and brake calipers and orange stripes on the rocker panel and splitter. Inside, the car gets orange seat belts, orange stitching and bronze aluminum trim. In addition to the performance parts, all ZR1s are available with heated and ventilated Nappa leather seats, a carbon-fiber rimmed steering wheel, a Bose stereo and GM'sPerformance Data Recorder. Like other Corvettes, the ZR1 is available with multiple seats with varying degrees of bolstering."

I have Kalahari now and it was a must for me when ordering my Shark Gray Z51. It looks better with some colors than others, but not bad with any. Some exterior colors like crystal red, torch red, LBR, and yellow are interesting combo's, but I like them nonetheless.

Grey. The problem with Kalahari is that it is too orange to begin with. Some people say it's the color of a basketball. Grey would provide some contrast without being gaudy like red would be. Black is an obvious choice that goes with most any color, but here it would make it into a Halloween car.

P.S. My own car is kalahari, so I'm not against the color and any color preferences are subjective, I realize.

Tan has always been a very popular color with the Corvette oranges.
Other than black, you don't really have many options.
Daytona Sunrise orange with Kalahari is probably my favorite color combo.
When I saw the Sebring orange sample in Carlisle Kalahari came to mind.
