Default Besides Ruby Red, what are the premium colors for the ZR1?

I've seen the light green ... which I like.

What about blues ... no Nassau Blue available I would bet ?

I always thought a 1990 in Steel Blue would be a cool car to have.

here's a breakdown of color production
http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...1/zr1prod.html
Dark Purple was the rarestcolor produced, but thats because most people didn't like it. Will it get more money today? That's for a buyer to decide, but I personally like the more popular colors best, escept the rare blue ones.

The premium colors are the low production colors that are desirable.

It seems like alot of people are seeking out the yellow and paying for it.

Any of the low production colors that are desirable bring more $$$.

Even the ones that are not that desirable in color but are low production - there is always a buyer out there who will pay $$$

I thought about getting rid of mine for a rare color..Yellow or Quasar Blue..


But I am just so happy with my red one that I can not think of parting with it.

Like the saying goes be happy with the one your with.

I picked quasar blue because I like it, and it is a low production color. (see avatar 19 in 1990) I have a friend who has a 2000 Nassau Blue FRC, and quasar is very similar IMO. It has the same characteristic of looking very different in different lights! I get lots of compliments, because I think people rarely see a Quasar Vette! I have to admit, I don't think there is a color I don't like

I looked the whole '92 model year for a Quasar with no luck so I ordered a Quasar '93, I had no idea it would be one of seven. I really wanted the white interior, but practicality won out and I got black...wish I had stuck to what I really wanted. Fast forward 10 years and I bought my daughter a '99 Nassau blue coupe. We both get compliments on the color and I agree it's probably because they rarely see one. Never met a 'Vette I didn't like.

For me the only way to go is a 95 Black with Red interior or a 95 Red on Red. Someday one will be mine. The odds favor the Red on Red. I like that since it is the total opposite of my LT4.
