The 7 colors currently available, well, they don't do a whole lot for me. I think PG is my favorite. I strongly prefer sparkly metallics to "flat" colors, and I prefer darker shades over bright primary colors.

Colors I would want:

A deep green metallic. Similar to british racing green, or the polo green used on the C4 and the Camaro for a few years in the mid '90s. Imagine a dark green Z with tan leather interior, that's a classic look. But nobody makes green cars anymore!

Dark (navy) blue metallic. Like green, nobody makes navy blue cars either. It doesn't have to be navy, as long as it's deep and on the darker side of blue shades, something far away from baby blue or sky blue. Something like the GTO's Midnight Blue metallic or Impulse Blue metallic would be OK, or the Admiral Blue or LeMans blue on the early C6 'vette.

A deep, metallic red (not flat). Similar to Magnetic Red, Monterey Red, or Crystal Red on the C6 Corvettes.

(Can you tell I like Corvette colors, just not the price tag?)
