I'm considering a Blade Silver Z06 with a gray interior. I have owned 3 other Corvettes but they always had a Jet Black interior. Will the gray interior look dirty when it gets to be 5 or 6 years old?
Blade Silver exterior with Red Leather and Gray suede interior.
I can't answer to the appearance in 5-6 years but I've always liked an interior color that compliments the exterior color. Black is just, well black. It goes with everything. I think the looks of the gray interior goes very well with the Blade Silver.
In process of ordering Long Beach Red 2019 Z w/Kalahari interior. Thought about the Gray but A: Thought it was a bit feminine looking (I know pics are hard to judge color-wise). B: Like you mentioned, thought it might also show scuffs/wear/dirt more than other colors. Hopefully someone else might be more helpful but we all have OPINIONS & yours is the only one that will matter since you're toting the note.

WOW, that looks MUCH blacker than other pics I've seen with the full gray leather seat (not just inserts).

We love our gray interior. We had it on our 2016 also. It is the only color you can order that does not have that boring black carpet that is on all other C7"s. My wife's car has a black interior and it shows the dirt in the carpets much more than the gray carpet in our Corvette.
I had grey (actually Pewte) seats in my Magnetic Red C5. I thought it was very classy looking (not feminine). However, for my Torch Red GS I opted for black seats which I think goes well with the black wheels and increased window tinting.
I would say silver with grey are too close in color and wouldn't offer a "stand out" contrast. I saw on here a guy post a picture of his night race blue C7 convertible with the light grey interior - boy o boy was that sharp looking...classy and sporty all at the same time.
IMHO, It would be my last choice. The two tone is mildly amusing, but as a whole I think the gray interior looks tired and dated (Apologies to anyone who owns it). With Silver exterior, you can’t go wrong with black...but Red would looks hot.

Why not a Vert with stripes? That Waterfall area is Sick

Have to admit this looks pretty damn cool. So, I agree with Mayor above. Lack of contrast Silver and gray would be an odd combo to me.
I think the gray interior is excellent. I like the jet black but it is everywhere. Corvette's have many nice interior combinations besides the generic jet black. I'm not sure about blade silver and the straight-up gray, a bit too subtle for me, however the two tone gray might just be the ticket. Don't worry about the dirt, I've had gray in three (one fabric and two leather) other daily drivers with no maintenance issues. Don't arbitrarily lock yourself into the conventional silver w/jet black unless that's what you really want. Red works great with silver, kalahari is nice too, just order in the next few days or you'll miss the deadline.
My C6 was silver with gray interior. Gray does show dirt more than black. It also shows stains from blue jeans, fabric, hair dye and other things you wouldn’t think of until owning it. The light gray carpeting also shows dirt / stains more than the darker carpeting. I loved the look when it was new, but went with the black interior on both my 2016 and 2019 silver verts. Same goes for the gray vert top.
Love the gray. That is why I ordered it. It really is a misnomer calling it a gray interior. There is just as much black as there is gray and black will go with any exterior color. It is better to call the gray and the red interiors as two toned which provide a very nice contrast over a single color interior like black
