I didn't call anyone's color choice a blunder, I simply gave the rationale for my choice.
Perhaps you're a bit thin-skinned?

Either you like a color or you don't. "Dated" doesn't really enter into the picture.

Funny, on the show room floor I had a choice between the DSOM and Silver. The DSOM was pretty but was an automatic and I wanted 6 spd.. The DSOM was hot but I was concerned it would be cache, so I went "traditional silver"- call me conservative!

JD Power Associates, in independent testing, rates the DSOM higher. It appears to be a better handling color, makes the Borla Stingers sound better (sound reflection off the color) and has better handling characteristics, especially with the Z51 package.

There is nothing remotely derogatory in any of the remarks in this thread and I would not hesitate to say what I said to any friend.
There is an unusual contradiction of sorts at play here:
An auto tranny fan can state his preference, a member can paint his interior in an unusual manner, another can stick a 3 foot decal on the side of his door, and half the C6 crew state their opinions in less than the sensitive, caring, and empathic manner that a few of you seem to require... and all's well. But answer a question regarding personal color preference in anything but the most delicate of terms and some people take it as a personal slam.
Things that make ya go "Hmm..."

Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic paint is my 1st choice, thats what color my coupe is
Silver would be my choice for a Vert though, I really like the way Silver shows the lines of the car on the Vert

DSOM. Had Pewter last time and loved it. I have a silver daily driver. Have always loved Corvettes in all the Orange variations. When I saw DSOM, it was love at first sight. My new baby goes on line this Friday and will be complete on Monday.
