Default What Colors Attract The Most Attention

When to Branson, MO this past week with three other Corvette friends. 2- Artic White, 1 - Laguna Blue and mine is Daytona Sunrise Orange metallic . Yep, DSOM drew the most attention.

Sorry for the Title, I didn't preview my post before sending it.

Probably Corvette Racing Yellow, DSOM, and Torch Red, in that order....not sure what color comes next

I would say GM hit a home run with the C7 and all colors draw attention. That in my opinion was not the case with the C6.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has their favorite color.
Statistics show bright colored sports cars get the most tickets.

Probably the colors that sell the least get the most attention as they are not seen as much.

I have owned Corvette's since 1972 and can say my Lime Rock Green Stingray garners the most positive comments from folks than any vette I have ever owned.

Just sayin

So that means ratman6161 is correct.

I actually agree. Of the three colors on Vettes that I've had, both the LMB and LRG get WAY more attention than the VR, even though that one was a Z06. Red Corvettes are a dime a dozen.

Have a stealth color Cyber Gray. Not looking for attention on the road.

Performance is more important to me than what other people think.

Yes, how it looks to ME is important. I just am not concerned about what others think about it or any attention it may bring.

More the car than the color IMO.

I'd probably gravitate toward a LRG given a color line of C7's. You just don't see many.

People stop and stare I watch them when I take the car to MickyD's not many pass it without stopping to look.
