Default I Really Wish For Atomic Orange

or some flavor of a metallic orange. I think it would be absolutely dynamic with the lines of the C7! C'mon GM, give us Atomic Orange!

If they offered that color, I would have no dilemma at all. But, as it is, I'm not sure what color to choose.

I wonder how close the Night Race Blue is to the decades past Daytona Blue. Saw a '67 Daytona Blue with white seats and redline tires and it was HOT!

A lot of other people would love for them to bring back AO also.

It would be cool if they did bring it back for 2015... Along with maybe a bright green or synergy green.

Wow those are awesome paint options. And I don't like green, but that is just nice.

Its too bad Vette doesn't have more extreme colors.

I'm glad they are not offering AO. If I had to make a choice between AO and Lime Rock Green, I don't know what I would do. But say AO was offered instead of LMG - no question about it, I'd be getting a first-year AO C7.

Go with Arctic White if those are your 2 color choices... It would look better with the new exotic lines of the car.

There was a photo posted a while back of Crystal Red and it didnt seem to look that great on the C7 in that pic.

According to the NCM bash video only 1% of 2013 vettes were ordered in Orange. That may be why they dropped it, granted I really like that color.

That green photoshop is sick.

I don't even like green cars in general but that one looks amazing.
