Red never has looked good with yellow. Never will look good, imho. If you must have contrast, blue calipers. If you don't want contrast, gray or yellow calipers.
Atmosphere or Natural will be ok-ish. Sky Cool Gray will look best. Black will work well, but is by far the most overplayed interior in Corvettes. Contrast stitching and yellow belts highly recommended if you go wtih black.
and I added some other red touches to it. Before I got my C8 I would have agreed with some of you that red oesn't go good with yellow but now I think it looks amazing lol

I agree that some minor red touches go well with yellow. All red interior is a totally different proposition.
Do you. Not sure why people on this forum always ask for other people’s opinions on car colors. Be confident in your choice.:Your money your opinon and your ride.
life is to short to let strangers make choices for you.
Enjoy your ride 😀
You can get away with red calipers on a yellow car but anything else just makes it look like the clown 🤡- ketchup and mustard. Takes away from a car that can “pop”.
Just my opinion, but I'm not a fan of the red interiors with any exterior color except maybe black. Then again, I went way out of my way to buy a Caffeine C8, so what do I know .

Color choice is somewhat subjective and I find my color preference change over the years. Ive previously owned two white Corvettes but now a white Vette is a def pass. Many people like green but it s a HARD pass for me. I don't think yellow/red looks bad and if you like it get it.
I hope this is an early April fools joke. I know it's your car but you know all the jokes that will follow with that combo.
Good luck with the new ride..
OP
Quit getting opinions. It's your car. If you want to be different go for it. There is a reason a lot of Corvettes are white and black. And most other cars and trucks. No Imagination!
I agree if you plan on keeping the car until it dies….for re-sale that would be a tough car for someone to buy.

This right here exactly. A few red touches would look nice, even red calipers look good as some have shown here. My calipers are already yellow but I’ve considered some red-trimmed floor mats for my C.Yellow ‘26 and maybe some bits of red trunk trim. But my interior is black. I think a red interior would be way too much, for me anyway. But hey, I’ve seen pics here of a yellow C8 with some purple interior trim bits so what do I know? As my ex-wife pointed out my taste is all in my mouth…
Now don’t laugh at me but I don’t think that 911 looks too bad. It’s more of a rusty color. It doesn’t look clownish IMO.
But I’m probably influenced by how much the body color looks like our Competition Yellow, which I really do like. If it were more of a greenish yellow like some there’s no way the top would work with it.
