Color choice?!
The C7 is on my very short list. I know how I want to build it, but the color choice is killing me. White, black, silver, shark gray and yellow are all very appealing to me. How'd you guys choose?!

White, silver or shark gray look great on the C7.

I painted a die with different colors. I put it in a cup. I tossed it on the table. It came up LRG. Which is about as helpful as any other opinion when it comes to color!

I struggled greatly with this and to some degree still do. What helped me narrow down my list of candidate colors was seeing each in person. You might be surprised how a color either excites you or completely opposite when seen in the metal. Photos simply can't give you the gut feeling you will get when you see the right one.

I agree...

But as most people say, it's your choice. You need to pick what you like, not what others like. It's purely a personal preference. I think the C7 looks great in all the colors.

Had a few metallic and silver cars already and wanted a change, so that eliminated: Blade Silver, Cyber Gray, NR Blue, LR Green
Just owned a blue car, so that eliminated Laguna Blue.
Black - looks fantastic when clean, but requires the extra effort cleaning and polishing for the obsessive minded like myself.
White - just not me Crystal Red - just not me
Velocity Yellow - looks great, nice weekend color, but just not a color I could see myself drive every day.
Torch Red - Easy choice and C7 lines look fantastic in TR.
Obviously a personal decision for everyone.

my '03 was Speedway white with a white top, the rarest color combo in '03, a fact that I liked very much and I liked it so it was one reason, the second was white is the only colored offered on every year of Corvette since '53, my way of paying homage to the Corvette and lastly and the most important, as silly as it may sound to you, I dedicated my first new car to my parents, white like my mom, black like my dad and brown on the inside like me. Even my interior plaque is dedicated to them, The Monk MG, my mom has always called me Monk since I was born and my dad always called me MG, my initials. This car is very personal to my so I personalized it my way.
