There really isn't much difference between Magnetic Red and Crystal Red. You'd be hard pressed to tell them apart unless they were parked side by side and even then it's extremely close.

British racing green - LRG was too dark
Flat black w/ brushed aluminum rims - not sure I would choose it, but it would be striking

My neighbor has a Moss port Green C2 coupe. I think it would look good on a C7. Maybe corvette should consider a series of vintage colors?

I know this is a wish list, but considering that it's for the 2017 model year you have to be realistic and realize they aren't bringing back colors that are similar to existing ones currently slated for the 2017 lineup. Since they haven't killed Laguna Blue, you can't expect a return of Electron Blue or LeMans blue as they aren't that far off in color. If they bring back another blue it would be much lighter or much darker than Laguna.

Camaro's blue - Hyper Blue Metalic. Appears to be a richer deeper blue than Laguna Blue. I think to similar a color but Possible?

I think a new or previously used corvette white should be considered.


corvette white history over the years.

Thanks for the comparison chart and I totally respect your opinion and I did love the polo white on my 54 vet many years ago. However I just picked up an Artic White C7 about 2 1/2 months ago and this color just seems to look nicer on this car every time I look at it. OMHO

You guys need to think outside the box a little. We should be talking about a custom paint process instead of colors. Porsche has a 5k color option that lets you choose any color. They should also have a premium paint treatment option so that the parts go into a special bay and get manually painted and wet sanded.

So, I'm for:

PPO - Premium Manual Paint
PPC - Custom Color (inc. PPO)

That is a possible option once the new paint shop is built, but it isn't going to be done for next model year or probably the next one after that.

Right now the paint shop is limited to a fixed number of colors with the machines they have, and I don't believe they have a manual paint booth at the factory right now.

Light Pewter Metallic (an early C5 color). I had a 1998 C5 convertible in Light Pewter Metallic with Light Oak top and interior and thought it was the prettiest Corvette I've owned.

I know, more than two colors but these were all great Pontiac colors back in 69-74, so they should still be able to mix them and make them even better with the new paint processes.

1969 Carousel Red (Actually an Orange - same as Hugger Orange)
1969 Liberty Blue
1970 Orbit Orange (Actually a Bright Yellow)
1970 Atoll Blue
1970 Bermuda Blue
1970 Polar White
1971 Adriatic Blue (a Silver-Blue)
1971 Lucerne Blue
1971 Laurentian Green
1971 Cameo White
1971 Canyon Copper
1971 Castillian Bronze
1972 Sundance Orange
1972 Shadow Gold
1973 Brewster Green (Think John Wayne's Trans Am in the movie McQ)
1974 Admiralty Blue
1974 Fire Coral Bronze

How about all the original Stringray colors from the C3, say 1970. As part of a vintage anniversary collection....

What is Ontario Orange ???
