Default Top Color Choices C6 Coupes

Newby,
Well finally ordering my coupe today. Ever since the C6 came out I must say I get a HA%D O*E every time I see one. Now for the color. Can't sleep. Yellow Great color Hot Fast sitting still or Silver rich looking low key.
Just wondering will I have a easier time selling one color or another later.
PLEASE HELP. The dealer said if I order it bu Thursday it should take 4-6 weeks? He already has orders in that can be changed. What do you guys and girls think. I have to do it by noon today.

Tag will be PNK-SLP Always wanted that tag ( pink slip)

Thanks in advance

I say go with what YOU like. Color is such a personal choice. Re- sale will be the same choice with any second owner. I chose VY even over my wife's wishes ( semi-permanent dog house till she gets used to it).

I second that!!! All of the colors are great so go with your preference. To heck with what anyone else thinks.

Yellow is my favorite color, but I ordered Silver. Go Figure All the colors look great, so get what you want and don't look back! Best wishes.

Red is my favorite color, but I loved the red interior even more, so I ordered Silver. Plus the grey comp wheels look really nice with the silver exterior.

Thanks,
Glenn

If you love....... and I mean LOVE, to detail cars, pick black. You'll get all the practice you want And they look great for 5 minutes after you detail them

Wreck,
I agree with the rest, pick the color you like.......if you look at them all you will keep coming back to one of the colors, that is the one for you.

Default I orded a Lemans Blue

I ordered a Lemans Blue Convertible this week, I think the combination of opitions is what a 2nd owner is looking for more than color. Sunset orange which is being discontinued would problely be the rareist of the 2006 model run

Like 30YR W8T it is personal preference. With Torch Red dropping out with the C5 production, Yellow was the color that I kept coming back to. Then when the Z06 came out in Velocity, I was completely sold. Now, six months later and I still gravitate to yellow. But then again, I am an ADDICT! Yellow, catches my eye first on the street or parking lots. I check the Museum Delivery almost daily . . . . and when a yellow is in delivery slot 6, as mine was, I relive my delivery. Hey, just think, it is good to have choices!

My advice...buy the car (and color) you want to have, not the car you want to sell. I personally own a 2005 Millenium Yellow C6 and love it. I like it because it parallels the color of the LeMans race car and I think it gives it more of an Italian look. But that's just me...and I could car less if someone else doesn't like it.

Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember the international racing colors. Italy is Red, Belgium is Yellow. But I know what you mean, that Yellow is really cool looking. You also gave great advice, get the color that you like, to tell you the truth, they all look great!
