Default Why are the C6 colors so boring????

The Lemans Blue is too dark.... The reds are all boring..... Cadillac seems to have equal or better colors????? Why.... DODGE has more vivid colors. Vette colors used to stand out. Now the red looks like my wifes Escalade only it makes the smaller car look even smaller.....
Please bring back Nassau Blue ......if and when they bring it back I will buy a C6 instantly. I am really tired of torch red and it's slight deviations. And that monterey "BRICK" red whatever they named it this year.......SNOOOOOOOOOOOZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEE EEEEEEEE

IMHO, the LeMans Blue looks 100x better than Nassau blue. I'm not sure what C6's you have been looking at, but the paint quaility on C6's looks much better than the C5's.

I think yellow is the best color to show the lines of the car.
Forums are for discussion??
Or is this just Corvette cheerleading RA RA sessions.
Lemans blue...glad ya like it....
Hey and "Get a life"...got one... How is yours.
I have not purchased a C6 for the color reason only.

Nope.....do not care to see an orange Corvette in the sun.
My interest in the statement was to see if anyone else out there felt the same as I. Not so far I see.
But I was looking at a post that this fellow has with a poll on what color to get????????..just my opinion that a color on a sports car should grab you. Ya should not need to poll other people.
None of the current ones do it for me...simple.

Well, thanks for your opinion.

My opinion is that Monty Red and LMB are both stunning colors - especially in the sun. I get so many positive comments on my Mo Red vert color - so, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but from what I see, most other ppl disagree with you.

This color certainly grabs ME.....

If you'd have called my sister ugly, I wouldn't have had nearly such an extreme reaction.

edit: so, what are YOU rolling in, and what color is it?
