Please critique these colour combos to help me decide
I've narrowed it down to either velocity yellow, torch red, or laguna blue. Regardless of the colour, I will get black wheels with it.
Which of the three do you think goes best with black wheels?
I dont care too much about interior colour, if its red exterior I'll get red seats, and if its blue or yellow I'll get the grey seats.

I can't bring myself to pay $625 or whatever it is in Canada for coloured calipers lol.
Sounds like not many people are feeling yellow /w black wheels and red and blue are both recommened about equally...
I remember the last annivesary edition Trans Am was yellow with black wheels, seemed to be a hit lol.

and I'll take the fact that you listed yellow first, as possibly your actual first choice. having owned a yellow corvette I can say, I like it. (naturally) and I think you will, too. with black it should go very well. I used gunmetal gray with a chrome lip for wheels but those were made for a different generation corvette.
yellow for the win!

Your post is interesting. More and more I read where people are confused about color. I have struggled with this myself. The more examples we see the better off we will be. I think the cyber gray show car pulled a lot of interest in that color.
I am a red guy. But this time I am not sure.

Ordinarily I wouldn't comment on someone else's color choices, but you solicited opinions, which suggests you care what others think about your choices, yes? In that case, among the three options you're considering, historically red has been a more popular Corvette color than yellow or bright blue colors. Yellow is polarizing: people tend to think it's great or hate it. In this regard, a yellow car with a black carbon-fiber top will provoke comments about its looking like a taxi cab. A conservative choice would be blue & grey. Finally, black wheels are equally polarizing.

I wouldn't go Yellow, personally. I've just known and seen too many C5Z in yellow so I don't want any. My C6 is white because it looks great and I never see another white in person.
My 3 choices for the C7 at this point (I can't afford it, but if I did) would be Red, Blue or White. Red looks great, but so does the blue. White as well.
Um, I couldn't decide. Maybe the interior color would help me decide, or proximity of the available car.

I LOVE the LB, but have a hard time paying extra for a color. I also really want the red interior. Was toying with the idea of LB with black interior. That would allow me to go 2LT versus 3LT... but ultimately I think it will be white with red interior, black wheels, red calipers, and carbon fiber roof and mirrors/spoiler.
