Black

Laguna Blue Tintcoat
Velocity Yellow Tintcoat
Crystal Red Tintcoat
Lime Rock Green Metallic

Also, of your rankings, why did you like #1 the most and #10 the least?

I shall tabulate and post the results after a sufficient sample of responses, but you also can do your own math.

This is my ordering:

Crystal Red Tintcoat
Torch Red
Laguna Blue Tintcoat
Night Race Blue Metallic
Cyber Gray Metallic
Blade Silver Metallic
Black
Artic White
Lime Rock Green Metallic
Velocity Yellow Tintcoat

Liked Most: I’m primarily a basic red, white, black, & blue guy – Really like the Crystal Red (very classy) – Would have chosen Crystal red, but instead chose Torch Red as it goes better with the 3LT Adrenaline Red Interior, and I have ton of Black options that would detract from the classiness of the stand-alone color of Crystal Red

Liked Least: Velocity Yellow – I don’t like yellow on a car, especially not on a sports car, and most definitely not on a Corvette - In fact, I really don’t much like yellow – I only like yellow in or on 7 things: A woman’s hair, gold, the sun, flowers/birds/bees, a cop’s badge/uniform, caution lights/signs/stripes, and beer – I’m OK with a hottie in a yellow sports car, but then I am OK with a hottie under most any circumstances – To me, yellow on a sports car is effeminate, and is only hottie appropriate, but then see my previous comment – Maybe a burnt orange yellow on a C7 would look OK, and in fact, I think it would look great – I really, really want to like the Velocity Yellow, but I just can’t bring myself to do so – Yes, I know, there is Corvette Racing Team Mello Yellow, but Tweety Bird Yellow on a race car?, Paleeze! - Also not crazy about Lime Rock Green as it does nothing for me – That is why I did not order the Special Edition Vert; that and it comes as an automatic, although now I understand it also can order in a stick

That said, it wouldn't surprise me if everyone ranks Velocity Yellow #1 just to spite me as how dare I criticize a C7 color.

I am a red guy. Everything in my life is red (except finances). I could never support a team with yellow uniforms, like Michigan. Wife got her Ph.D. from THE Ohio State University in Public Policy and Management from the John Glenn School of Public Affairs and her B.S. at Rutgers (all great reds). I grew up in the Boston area and am Red Sox Fan for Life. Live in the DC Area an am a Nats, Caps, and Redskins fan (great reds and maroon). So, only reds for me. Red = Bold, Yellow= Cowardly, as in yellow-belly, yellow-streak, and Wolverines.

Wow! You've just declared the yellow Corvette a girls only car???
I hear the whole Corvette Racing team is looking for ya! Get 'em Jan.

Oh yeah, VY #1.

Considering I own one that is Velocity Yellow...
Color preference is like all other opinions and certain body parts - everyone has one.

Crystal Red ... but all colors look fantastic! The marketing team came up with a very good spectrum to select from.

I just joined the area Corvette Club and one member has a 4LT 2012 Vert in yellow - Checked out the trunk for luggage space as it likely shall be close to the C7 - The trunk space shall be fine for the long distance trip I am planning - Found myself not put-off by the yellow - In fact, I grudgingly had to say I found it OK - Not enough to buy yellow mind you, but OK more than OK - But, that is as far as I am willing to go on yellow for a car, especially a sports car, now making a major exemption for Corvettes - A burnt orange yellow would be better

#1. Lime Rock Green
#2. All those other colors

5-9 everything but black
10 black

I had a new black corvette in 1988, it was dusty before I got out of the driveway. Traded it in 2 weeks later for a red.

Must say though this is one of the best years for color choice both inside and out!
