OK Adam. While your still in research mode I would like to see one more survey please. How many C3 owners repainted their Vette RED because they didn't like the original color? Then we would know what the most popular color is today as opposed to when the car was produced. Confused Ya think??

I don't care which Adam's charts you use, BLUE still is more popular than red.  Thumbs Up  So, just proves that real Corvettes are NOT all red, but are BLUE.  Clap   Told ya so!!  Wink  LOL

No, I still don't have a red car... my C6 is actually Daytona Sunset Orange, so there!!!  Thumbs Up  Anyway, I'd think you would agree as the picture of your Vette looks like its BLUE also.

I have to admit, I think the original grouping was a little better.  Silver and gray are two distinctly different colors.  I should know, I have a silver '76, but I'd rather have a "Steel Cities Gray" from the early 70's.  I love that color on sharks.  We have a similar color on our Odyssey, but it's just not quite the same.  

BTW, when I bought my car it was painted light BLUE (go figure, with a red interior).  When I had it painted, I had the shop go with the original color (SILVER) matched to the GM spec with the paint code tag on the driver's side door jamb.  And my car has never been red and never will be while I own it.  But I do like my red interior.

Guarantee BLUE is FAVORITE.  Why, even the Great EBO likes BLUE.  At least, on a 71 convertible big block.  Swear, if and when we group up again (Kinda like kenneling up) and the vettes are there I've gotta lock it up and hide the key.
