Default Yellow and red looks too much like McDonalds?

So I'm in an internal debate with myself:

I love how Velocity Yellow stands out, and I also love how the adreneline red interior looks. And I think red break calipers would look great against the yellow body and black wheels.

Problem is... all I can think about is McDonalds whenever I picture the car in my brain.

Someone tell me if this is a crazy combo, or a great match! I feel like I'm going crazy

Here is a thread where a guy gets a similar combo:

That's what I'm afraid of!

I'd hate to get a sexy super car, only for people to see it as Ronald McDonald exotic burger mobile!

Your paying for it. So, if you like it that is all that counts. My guess is not a large percentage of people are going to like it. And, there will come a time for resale.

Yellow paint with red interior is disgusting.

Don't do it.

Its your car, but if you do something like that, you better love it because you won't be able to ever sell it.
It is definitely thought of as a Ronald McDonald color combination. You had better have thick skin and not mind people laughing at you.

What screw up a vette with those colors--you might like how pink polka dot pants look, but you gotta think twice before wearing em. To me yellow and red is an eyesore- both are really nice colors just not together.

Haha, I suppose it's like combing pizza and ice cream.

The biggest detractor for me is the resale: he hit the nail on the head about the problems with resale, and that wasn't something that crossed my mind.

That being said... which is more important... Velocity Yellow? Or Adrenaline red...

It's a good life to have such tough choices!

Here's a long thread on the subject:

Majority opinion seems to be negative, but you certainly aren't the only person to be intrigued by the possibility. To each his own.

The colors don't look good on the older model, IMO. Thanks for the link!

Yellow w/ Black
or
White w/ Red!

Definitely not popular. White with red always looks great IMO

Would be great for an old school Rockets fan trying to relive the championship years.

In fact, then you may even want to add the crystal red racing stripes.

That yellow on red combo looks horrible to me.

But, color preferrences are such subjective, personal opinions. If you like it; then buy it and enjoy it. You will probably have a rare color combo as well.

I had a couple of yellow/red cars they do get attention. I would buy a C7 yellow/red and could care less what anybody thinks or has to say about it.

You would not buy a yellow and red car in the first place.
