On a serious note, if there is one left, my next 'vette will be a dark color. Perhaps blue, black, or red, but very dark. I love the deep wet reflections you get with dark colors.
As far as care is concerned, ...doesn't matter, I'm retired. I can wash it twice a week if I want. Although that may not be enough for black.
The only time I see a real beautiful wet look on my Blade Silver is in the garage, like these shots here...

Safety Car
I had a red Z28 A4, got a little boring after a while. I loved it though, and it had the best A/C I've ever seen on a car. You could see your breath.
I had a black 1998 Z28 M6, loved the way it looked when it was clean. The LSx 427 I eventually built for this car really livened it up.
For a very short time I had a 1994 ZR-1 that was wrecked and parked for 10 years. It was to be a rebuild project and my first Corvette, but finances fell out and my partner skipped out so I had to sell it almost as soon as I bought it. That Admiral Blue, especially in the sun. Never seen anything like it since.
Now my Yellow Corvette. It just seems right-- Yellow on a proper 2 seater sports car.
I think my C7 will be Lime Rock Green or perhaps I'll go back to black. Really, a waxed black sports car just can't be beat... but it's a labor of love. And lots of labor at that.

Hameister's pic is simlar to a C6 I saw at lunch today. I think anything Silver or Black prob wins for being manly. Although a few years back I sold a Blue ZR1 with gray wheel that looked amazing. They all look pretty manly with the right accents.

I just get a kick outta how deeply personal people make their personal choices.
Starts a flame fest every time.
