Dark Bowling Green Metallic is a very pretty color on the C5 - looks like you got a real beauty.

When I went Vette shopping a dark green vette with saddle leather was in my top 4. I found two of them and both were gone before I could make it to them. One was in Houston while the other was in San Antonio. I have always loved the color combination. She is a real beauty.

Black, on the other hand, color code 41U, was one of the most popular colors. The total number of black C5s, which were available every of the eight years of production, was 47,941, or 19.28% of all C5 Corvettes. Black was second only to Torch Red in popularity (51,136 – color code 70U - 20.56%.)
Isn’t it interesting that features the fewest Corvette buyers wanted to order new become the most sought after items to the collector.

It all comes down to personal preference. If you're happy then that's all that matters!
