Why do I keep changing my mind on color?

Why do I keep changing my mind on color?
First of all, I dislike all of you for your beautiful pictures of your C7s. Every time I think I have figured out the color combination I want, one of you posts a picture of your gorgeous car in a different color combination. The only
rhing I have decided upon is a convertible 2LT with manual transmission.
Firrst it was torch red, then I switched to black. I thought I had finally decided on blade silver and then I saw some beautiful Long Beach red pictures.
This forum has been extremely helpful in all aspects of the car and I thank you all. Perhaps, I should just get it painted in the colors of the rainbow and call it a day....

Picking the color is the hardest part. BTDT
One idea is to play mental mind F with yourself and pretend that you have 30 seconds to make your decision and pick the color. You will likely get it right.

Go with beige with gray cloth seats. It's a crowd pleasure, ask Altima drivers.

I don’t think there are any bad colors Corvette. Some colors show the lines better and don’t show dirt as much but I mostly like them all.

Speaking of Wheels: Mine started as glossy, piano black. I had them powder coated to match WGG! What you probably don’t want to start, is a discussion with those of us who are addicted to Visble Carbon Fiber!

There's so many colour combinations that work well. Red with red two tone interior, red with black and red stitching and red seat belts, yellow with black and yellow stitching, Grey with black and blue stitching, all black with red, the list goes on.
I ended up going with red and black and red stitching + seat belts due to the better interior contrasting. If GM offered other coloured seat belts I'd be back to square one though. Im sure whatever you pick you won't be dissapointed. Might help if you have a nearby dealer with a bunch of different combinations on the lot. I find seeing them in person vs pictures will help you decide what you want, especially if its on a sunny day.

I'm the same way...I think it's a testament to just how much Chevy crushed it with the design of the C7. It's such a great looking car, it can look great in many colors.
I would have NEVER thought about owning an orange car...but take a look at Foosh's (I think that's his name) Sebring Orange Vert, and that might fly to the top of your list.
