I wanted Lime Rock Green badly but didn't make my decision to buy until it was too late and it got discontinued. Looked at used in LRG but there was not much out there and what was available were A6's, I wanted M7. Very, very happy with my Blade Silver as I have always liked Silver and it doesn't show dirt, swirls, chips nearly as much as darker colors. Would likely buy Silver again.

Red is well represented here. TR is my C7 color, radiant red is my Tundra color and jupiter red is my mb color. my wife blasphemed and said she likes Racing Yellow now for our next vette! She also wants our next boat in yellow. I said "honey, they make them in red too!" sigh.

No regrets on color choice. Plenty of other life choices regrets but not this one.

This is just another thread for you all to post pic's of your cars. Not a bad looking one of the bunch I must say.

Love all the colors that come out of WGG

Well, I was originally dead set on a AW (orange was my top pick but they're so hard to find!), and I absolutely didn't want red, yellow or silver. But then the white started to bore me a little. I switched to loving the blue (laguna or admiral) or WGG. I can't help but love the black, but... BLACK. And we already have one black car.
​​​​​​
Ended up with TR after I saw a Z06 locally at my dealer. With the black accents/rims it really started growing on me.

No regrets so far and the more I look at it, the more I really like the red.

Went out looking for a Silver Porsche Cayman S, or a white C7.... considered silver or blue C7's as well. Came home with a Torch Red z51 2LT with Kalahari Interior.

Now I couldn't imagine any other color combination

I don't regret my color choice. But next go around. I see Arctic white in my future.

Once I saw a SO Z06, I knew there was only one color for me!

Long Beach Red for me. Don't regret it at all. I've had a Le Mans Blue C5. Black C6. Shark Gray C7 and now an LBR C7. The LBR is my favorite so far.

Then I saw the Ceramic Matrix Gray, Carbon 65, had to have it.

I will say that Im not 100% sold on the black rims - I really think chrome will make this car really "pop"...
I have same color combo with chrome wheels and am thinking I’ll go black. (Actually getting a set of black rims and I’ll keep Cup 2s on the chrome for track days)

Funny how that goes . . . I was all set on Laguna Blue until I saw TR with two-tone AR interior . . . the rest is history.

Well I went from a Monterey Red 2006 Coupe which was really a great color to order a white 2014 Stingray and I really love the car. But, I had the first white C7 in our Corvette Club and now they're all over the place like popcorn! It's still looks great and really pops in the Florida sunshine. But if I ever get another Vette, I have no idea what color I'd get.

Blade Silver NEVER shows dirt. And it’s a color endorsed by our local LEO’s.

I've never seen this color in person. That looks amazing!
