This is Rapid Blue w/ Morello, which is a bad clash to the vast majority, including GM's designers. The yellow seatbelts and calipers with those colors are way beyond the pale.

Exactly my feelings about Morello Red. IMO it's the sharpest looking interior & goes well with the right exterior color. Rapid Blue isn't one of them.

Your override choice looks good, and I suppose there are other examples like yours where the prohibitions requiring override don't make sense.

We should really start a thread or competition on the Ugliest configuration and have a poll.

And its a rare and unusual C8. Way cool in my book.

I agree with you. I like both the interior and exterior color, and, while admittedly they don't match, I would happily own and drive it if I could get it for a bargain price. Plus, if I owned it, my devious side would relish the fact that this color combination seems to **** off a lot of folks.

The exterior color and interior are great separately. I would just get some dark tint and call it a day.

Orange and blue, like purple and yellow, are complementary.

I'd give the dealer $81,000 which leaves $5K to get it WRAPPED in a more appropriate color for the interior.

I like to keep an open mind and consider all possibilities. This is a great thread to follow if you're interested in opinions about outliers or for someone who wants to buy a very rare combination of colors!

Then there's the new yellow with any color seats..........
It's funny, I was watching the Oregon/Oregon state football game last night, and the Oregon uniforms looked like they came right out of the C-8 Corvette coloring book....
My apologigeeeez to all those that like that horrid color.....
