The calipers make the decision: JSB.

Default Both are beautiful colors!

They are two of my favorite C6 colors, along with Atomic Orange, DSOM, VY, and Monterey Red.

If I had to choose between the two, I would favor Jetstream Blue only because I've already owned a color very close to CRM (Monterey Red). Also, it seems there are fewer JSB cars around than CRM/Monty so the blue has more impact. And the dark carbon fiber roof gets more contrast with the blue as well.

However, rather than listen to a bunch of guys spout about THEIR favorite colors I encourage you to explore your own reactions a little deeper. When you walk into the showroom which one excites you more? And if you are really on the fence, it might be a good idea to ask your wife or significant other their preference and go with that -- make a few points. In the final analysis I think you will be very happy with either.

Congrats on having such a wonderful problem!

JSB was my 2nd choice when I bought my AO coupe.
Since AO isn't available anymore, I'd definitely go with JSB.
Although CRM is also a beautiful color.

I know, I'm no help at all.

CRM for sure - get one and post pics.

Of those two, I'd go JSB, but that's just my own personal prejudice against undersaturated reds.

Both are great colors so it's going to boil down to your personal choice.

I have owned a CRM coupe and always received a lot of compliments on the color.

JSB looking really good on the ZR1 and goes really well with the calibers.

See my personal preference below !!!

They're both good choices. However, I think JSB will be a little easier to maintain & has less chance of showing dirt. It's one of those few colors that is dark enough to really take a deep shine, but, light enough that it doesb't show every speck of dust. Plus, it goes with the brake calipers.

I ordered CRM and like it - but your ZR1 looks fantastic

Couldn't take my eyes offs JSB ZR1 @ Greenwich Concours back in June. The black top breaks up the blue just the right amount. All JSB is too blue. JSB with a black top is gorgeous (ZR1 or convertible).
Can't go wrong with CRM either though. When I test drove one, a dud making a left onto the street where I was waiting @ a light, slowed down enough to say "get that one" as he drove by. We were right near the dealer so he must have put 2 and 2 together.
Guess you can't go wrong with either choice. Perhaps considering how one would do vs the other when you sell it down the road may help you decide.
