Can't wait to see this color in person, but from the pictures I really like it.

First of all that is a computer generated image. Second of all your monitors settings are not going to be anywhere close to real life colors. 3rd of all any orange car aside from lime green probably takes a huge hit in resale value.

4th of all, any black interior aside from red takes a huge hit on resale value as well.

Makes perfect sense. Nobody here should get the color they want because we all know this car is an investment we hope to sell one day and retire on.

1st of all not buying a car for resale. It is going to be mine for a while, and I am going to drive it too. I won't be worried about mileage either. It won't sit in the garage all the time. It will see rain and maybe even snow . I agree with you on the image, but it is all that we have to go by right now. I like the color in these images and would imagine that it would look even better in sunlight. Everyone has their own opinion .

I thought about Brownstone, but the wife liked Ebony better so that choice was made easy .

Your profile pic is the same color as my C6 in my profile pic. I love silver but I thought it was time for a change. I got a shark gray C7 order submitted so I'm looking forward to it. Silver and Laguna Blue are my other choices. No C7 will look bad no matter what color minus maybe turd brown or purple. Its a gamble for me to get shark gray since all I have seen are computer pics but I think I'll be happy. As long as you are happy that's what matters

My profile picture was my first vette a 2005. I traded it in for a 2010 GS coupe. Both of my other vettes were silver so I decided to change it up this time myself . I like Laguna Blue, Yellow, and Silver of course. I think the shark gray looks good, but I have a 2012 Silverado 2500HD diesel that is gray. What color interior? I personally don't usually care for Kalahari, but it looks good in the Gray cars. I have had black interior in almost all of my vehicles.

I have IOM now, and if the new DSOM is like these pics, it'll be great! Black on orange is a really cool look. What I wouldn't want is Atomic Orange, a little too "out there."

I like the color. Should be available when the Z06's hits production, but hopefully before.

I would have preferred if they went brighter, similar to the orange that some people have gotten their C7's wrapped in. I saw this pic a while ago and assumed it had already been posted on here, but in case not:

That picture is a photoshop by Swiss. The car pictured actually red. His username is at the bottom driver's side rear quarter in front of the tire.

AO looks really good in sunlight. It would be a great looking color on the C7.

My C-6 was an Atomic Orange coupe and had DSOM been available in the 2014 I would have bought it! Instead got a Crystal Red coupe and have come to love it as well...
