Default Corvette colors

Out of all the C-6 CORVETTE colors which color is the most noticeable or should I say least noticeable if you want to draw less attention?

I don't know which color draws the least attention, but I'm sure it's not red, yellow, or blue. Black looks awesome and it will draw attention, but not as much as the other colors I've mentioned if picked out of a crowd.

I would think that white would draw the least attention.

That's the color I have and it is still noticeable.
Maybe Silver?

Most attention, Yellow, Black and Red.

Least amount of attention, Silver and White.

Don't believe that all corvettes are red BS, F cars are the only cars that should be red. Henry Ford had it right, you can get it in any color as long as it is Black. JMHO

Then it has got to be those DRL's that make you more noticeable reagardless of color and of course depending on angle.

As far as C-5's go, at long range, the running lights and low profile make every C-5 stand out among the rest....very noticable before any color is recognizable. I love that look!

It sure attracts attention when you don't need it. but the good thing about C-6 is that we can shut off these DRL
's with a flip of a switch.

Agree - really love that C5 look, especially in BLACK.
Most attention:
  • Red, Black, yellow -- tough to decide, all 3 pull your eyes.
  • Black is the most dramatic.

Least attention:
  • Silver - is just too common
  • White - can't show off a gloss, so attracts your eyes less, unless you have a flashy interior like red, or white also , both of which I believe are not standard options.

Mine - C6 victory red. Didn't attract any attention until I used Menzerna and Z2Pro/Z8 on her

What makes the C6 so unique is the DRL. I can spot one from a mile away everytime. The good thing is that you can turn them off.

In reality it is the car as I always see people stop and stare at my Arctic White. I wanted next a red or yellow car but I'm getting tired of all this attention especially from the undesireable types so perhaps Silver might be a go which is also another low maintenance color like white and yes it does blend in to the traffic with all other cars as it seems all cars out there are silver.
