Re: New official 2012 camaro colors
It's a love it or hate it color. BMW offered Laguna Blue on the previous generation M3 and it sold well too. The point is, Ford seems to have no trouble keeping the color moving on the Mustang. If not blue, why can't we get some sort of unique color for the Camaro that makes you know it's a Camaro?

IMO, a very boring color palette. nothing pulls me in, colour is the BIGGEST decision for a car to me, and the lack of a colour i want keeps me away from it. i hope the new 4 door holden coming one day has loud colours like its down under commodore counterpart.

Re: New official 2012 camaro colors
I am not saying that you won't see bright blues in the future - but with 9 to 10 colors allowed (coupled with a paint system that is shared with Impala, Equinox, Regal and Camaro - ) - there are only so many 'bright-expressive' colors that can be offered. (inferno orange and rally yellow on an Equinox or Regal.............mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......not so much.....Gold Mist on a Camaro???
)Make no mistake - we're listening - but Bright Blues and Aquas are high risk.....
Vette had a beautiful middle of the Road blue. Le Mans blue I think? I dont know if it is still in the Vette Pallet or if it is the same Le Mans blue that Camaro had way back.
EDIT: Here it is. To me this blue blows away any of the reds or Synergy green. Only other color I really like is black. My fathers 67 AC Cobra will be Lexus blue which seems close. Its at the body shop now.

After studying the photos of the ZL1 convertible from the LA Auto Show this week, Ashen Gray is shaping up to be my favorite Camaro color. If it looks as interesting in person as the pictures I've seen, this is going to be a very popular color choice. Nice work GM.
