I don't expect that blue would have been a top seller on Camaro, but the photoshop of the car in aqua blue that GM has used...
is such a POOR representation of the color, that I think it greatly contributed to the colors demise since there were no actual cars to look at on dealer lots for the most part. It's only since they've been on the street that people have seen for themselves what a beautiful color it is on the Camaro (I didn't care for it on the HHR).

Yea what Clean said. None of the color palettes did aqua blue justice. And because of the short availability of the Camaro this year dealers didn't get a chance to order in any unsold aqua blue Camaros for people to see in person. We all knew the color wouldn't rival black, silver, red and IOM in sales numbers but it could have sold more than it did.

its failure was the green in the blue. they need a real blue thats bright and metallic. half the pics look awesome because the blue shows up without the green, and the other half shows too much green and makes the color look like it was from 91.

UPDATE:
Aqua Blue Metallic Build Out
Aqua Blue Metallic (RPO: GBD) will end production for both Camaro and Impala the week of November 30, 2009. The last weekly DOSP cycle to submit an order for Aqua Blue Metallic will be the cycle that begins on Thursday, November 5, 2009, and concludes on Tuesday, November 10, 2009. After Tuesday, November 10, 2009, Aqua Blue Metallic will be on a full constraint, and removed from Order Workbench configurators and the Order Guide by the middle of November.
Aqua Blue Metallic is the lowest penetrating exterior color for Camaro. This
exterior color had to be discontinued to open a paint line for an exciting special exterior color that will be introduced at this year's SEMA show - Synergy Green.
Camaro Synergy Green
The new Camaro exterior color - Synergy Green - will be offered exclusively on a special edition Camaro model that will be available for ordering starting in January 2010, and will start production the following month. Specific ordering and pricing details regarding this special edition model will be provided to you in the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you would like an idea of what Synergy Green will look like, a special Camaro Synergy SEMA Concept model featuring the production exterior color will debut during this year's SEMA show (November 3 - 6, 2009). The Camaro Synergy SEMA Concept model will serve as a basis for the production model; however, the concept model will include a number of current and future accessory items that will not necessarily find its way to the special edition model.
