Which Color Looks Best on a Corvette?
 
Try to be objective even if your own vette is of a different color. :)

That a tough question. As much as I love the classy nature of my Silver, Black still holds a special place in my heart as one of the best colors (when clean of course). I think the only color that doesn't really do anything for me on Vettes is white. I typically love white cars, but something about the Vette in white just doesn't excite me. To make a long story short I picked Blue because its been my favorite color for years and I couldn't choose between Black and Silver.

Nassau Blue to be specific. That's why I couldn't walk away from the one I just bought. I also like silver and black. But I would much rather admire someone else's black Vette. WAY less work:D

I voted black, but I do also like the burgundy or I don't know what you call it. Looks like a dark bing cherry to me . . . whatever, I think it looks HOTTTT!

This is a tough one.......:eek:
I Love "candy" colors (dark blue or deeeep red). Gun Metal Gray looks good too. I settled with black.
There is a mysterious quality, kinda like the "Men In Black", the whole secret agent type thing, if you will. Then trim in Gold!;)

If I ever decide to move up to a C6 it is definitely going to be LeMans Blue. I love that color on the C6 with the chrome wheels.

Black with Chrome wheels and Chrome Inserts in the letters. If it's a Z06, that son of a gun will have Red stripes too

It's got to be the Magnet Red color... not the fire red... aka, "pull me over red" but the burgundy color schemeRJensen made note about and questioned its color name. By the way, I will admit my vote is biased because I own a 2004 Magnet Red Corvette. :)

Great minds think alike buddy:D:D I think my Sig picture proves I agree with your opinion. I was up in the airbetween black and silver before I bought the Vette,but I thinkBlack is defintely my favorite color when it comes to most any nice sports/muscle car. As long as it's kept detailed and doesn't show a lot of swirl marks,..[&:]......I cringe whenI see people washing their black car with one of thosetan sheepskin looking wash-mitts. Or worse yet, seeing a nice black car pulling out of a automatic carwash.[:@] Both black and white cars IMO are the two hardest colors to keep clean, but when they are clean.....they both look reallygood!

WhenI getmy nextone, I'm almost positive it will be a silver Z06. ;)

Depends on what message you're trying to send. Elegant/classy looking, top choice is the magnetic red (burgundy) color a ($600 option, by the way). Black looks good too. Bright yellow screams "look at me"......imo:eek:

Well I love Black, as I said before, but what do you wash it with? I always use a sponge on everything I've ever washed.

If you want to watch a really good video on the proper way to detail a car you should check out the AdamsCar Care Products website. Here is a link: http://www.adamspolishes.com/videos/

Dude, you need a hug, Pay. I now found a whole lot of last minute Christmas presents I want. Man, some of the stuff some of that stuff did was freaking amazing. I now know how I'm going to treat my Corvette when I get it.

As I just wrote in another post, there are some really good tips in there, and there are a few things that I don't plan to do. But all-in-all its a pretty good video.

My car is a Navy Blue Metalic that seems to change colors in the sunlight. When I saw it, I had to have it. But there is just something about yellow I like, so I voted that way.

Black just looks so sinister..makes the Vette look more menacing
