Color Choices?

Have they said what the color/stripe options are going to be?

no.

I just hope it has some great colors. We don't need bland. Black, Silver, White, Red are no brainers. Then for the more adventurous: Hugger Orange, Yellow, and how about one of those old blues from the first gen? Laguna or Nassau blue? If they build an SS, a bumble bee stripe.

They usually offer at least one rather out there color each year then change it to something else the next. Good way to do it IMO.

First Mustang had that lime green color, this years its got Grabber Orange.

Can someone do a picture of a black camaro with a white hockey stripe.

This is where the GF said we would be fighting. Color choice! I love the SOM, and would like to see that on the Camaro. Other than that drk. red met., or blue. She hates SOM, she likes silver, black, blue, maroon. We both hate bright red. She hates green, I don't mind green. I thought she would fight me to get an auto, but she says she wouldn't mind another stick. I gotta row my own.

I want a deep grey/silver. Like gunmetal or steel cities grey from the 3rd gen Vettes.

69 Pace car colours :D

69 Pace car colours :D

That would be sweet, and how can they not do a 69 Pace Car package.? GM could have it as a 40th Anniversary deal. To commerate the Camaro's involvement in that race, that would be pretty cool.

Sign me up for a yellow with black racing stripes Z28. Just like the Transformer Camaro.

I would also like to see a hugger orange one.

I'd like to see the deep purple from the 1991/1992 Camaro's.

As well as whatever that color was on the G6 GXP(or is it GTP I forget?) I saw at the NY Autoshow. A dark gray with metallic flecks in it. Very nice imo.

Yes the C3 vette steel cities grey color would look sweet on a Camaro, it was nice. The 3rd gen F-body purple would be nice to see too, or maybe MM=Royal Plumb! Even 1st gen colors where sweet, marina, deepwater, nantucket or even Le mans blue. I have the 06 GM Perf. Parts catalog there's a 70 Chevelle SS on the cover with a 572 and some Orange color looks like SOM with black stripes.........looks awesome! A SOM Camaro with black Z/28 stripes would be smokin' hot or a bumble bee, or hockey, could be used to differentiate different trim/perf./options/. I'm sure not right off the bat but ultimately, it should be offered in maybe different packages like Mustang, ie., Mach 1, GT, GT500, Boss,. We could have once again, LT, RS, SS, Z/28 etc, to give a different look, provided the car sells well, there should be the $$ to do subtle changes to the car in time. Yes, color choice IS going to be a BIG problem for me! Just plain Black always looks hot. :bang:

Its funny, because my best friend (owner of a silver '00 T/A) and I were just discussing this earlier. We both want Hugger Orange...but that poses a problem if we both got it ;) . If they offer yellow (which, I doubt they'd do yellow AND orange), I'd go for it if it was like Millenium Yellow on the Vettes, not that puky Collector Edition yellow...

Otherwise, Hugger or SOM ;) Gotta keep with the theme from the '97!

I think they need to bring back some old favorites which would look very good even today...

Medium Quasar Blue Metallic
the late 80's dark gray (I forget the name)
Sunset Orange Metallic

I have always hated that gray. It just does not fit a sports car to me.

And yet, after I posted last night I was thinking about how beautiful my MEDIUM GREY METALLIC '89 RS was, and how many more compliments I had on the color of that car, versus the traditional bright red of my '91 RS. Not everyone wants a bright-a** color, or traditional white or black. Rich metallics, IMO, are where its at. Medium Grey Metallic, Polo Green Metallic, Medium Quasar Blue Metallic, and Monterey Maroon (Maple Red for you F-Bird guys ;) ) Metallic are 3 of the most beautiful colors offered on the F bodies.

To me, you need...

1) Red
2) Black
3) White
4) Silver
5) Orange (either SOM or Hugger)
6) Medium Quasar Blue
7) Maroon
8) Either Medium Grey or Polo Green Metallic

Personally, I don't think I want another grey Camaro, but it sure was pretty. If I don't get orange, I need a medium or navy blue...to complete my Red/White/Blue collection :D

Gimme Laser Blue with white stripes.....that or white with Hugger orange stripes.

Polo green is a gorgeous colour but I don't think my next Camaro will be the same colour as my 4th gen. A lot of dirt shows up, almost as bad as black and if there was a stripe package with the Z28 trim, few colours go well with green save for white and silver. However, I agree that Polo Green would be a nice option.

What about Marlboro Maroon like on the 67 Vette? My neighbor has one and that is a beautiful color.

I would like white with Hugger Orange stripes. Hopefully no Butternut Yellow

A nice color I would like to see is Maple Red Metallic that came on the 98 or 99 T/A. That color with chrome wheels looks very very nice.

as long as sunset orange metallic or something similar is available, i'll be happy

SOM or the Atomic Orange that is on the Vette now.

I won't buy one unless I can get it in a color similar to '99-'00 Corvette Nassau Blue Metallic :)
http://www.performancepluscorvettes.net/83322431_2.jpg

Needs more not so common colors. It would looks good with a nice deep ddarker green

Amazing how many people on here say SOM, yet no one ever seems to buy it ;)

My dad's '02 Formula is one of 32 SOM Formulas for '02, out of the 901 built. Of the 32,000 '02 Birds, IIRC less than 1,400 were built. Makes his all the more unique :)

Sunset Orange Metallic, it makes a lot of guys wet their pants :lol:

Another abbreviation common on this board is NBM (navy blue metallic) in case you see it.

As far as 4th gens go, Bright Purple Metallic from '97-'98 is what GREAT dreams are made of...
http://www.pontiacpower.net/spotlight0502.html

I'm for blue. Gotta have matching Camaro's in the garage!!

If anything I would love to see a Medium Quasar Blue, thats the color I would probably pick if I bought one...which I hope to do :D

That would be nice. Just make it a bit darker and I'm all for it.

(Darker because purples and yellows are generally considered 'girl' colors around here. So darken that purple to the 91/92's purple and it'd be great.)

Give me black on black and I'm a happy man!!!

Make mine Hugger Orange with black stripes :cool:

Or SOM or a nice gloss black works.......

Or maybe yellow with black stripes......

Oh boy this is gonna be a tough decision :lol:

:yes: :yes: :yes:

Dark Metallic Blue (Medium Quasar is just a little too bright for me...)

I'll take mine in Silver with red leather please!

Another color I'd love to see would be the Electron Blue that was put on the later C5s. Beautiful color.

Throw plenty of brighter, unique colors into the mix and I would be happy. I don't think I would want a black car again. The damn thing is never clean.

Electron Blue.. or something similar!

http://www.sffba.net/forum/photoplog/images/38/medium/1_Picture_017web.jpg

Totally agree with the Electron Blue. I never had a Vette sit more than two weeks when we ordered that color. Just beautiful when you wee it in person. On the other side the very last Camaro I ordered was a SOM Z28, A4-no SS nor M6 due to contraints. Finally sold it after 4 months and the guy whole bought it gave it to his 18 yr old kid who proceeded to wrap it around a tree. So, there are even less of them now.

It looks real nice in the sun with a good wax job..

I'd love a nice, deep metallic yellow (Millenium Metallic?) :)

Or a nice, dark titanium metallic....

Or a nice, blue metallic (brighter than the current vette's)....

Stripes are optional to me :)

Simple for me really,

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/ssthottie1236/drag_race_central.jpg

I'm a girl, the street car and the racecar hafta match :p
I know Silver and Midnight Blue will probably not be an option, but I'm planning on getting the same silver as the concept and getting the only body shop guy I trust with my cars to do the stripes. The only thing I'm worried about is not wanting to give the car up to him for a couple weeks after getting to drive it an hour to get there.

It has been a long time since there has been a yellow fbody. It would be nice to see a yellow option color on the 5th gen, as long as the yellow is not some super obnoxious yellow.

Wasn't the 2002 special edition Trans Am yellow with black details? I'm pretty sure I've seen at least one floating around my neck of the woods.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/aegis/img_1849s.jpg

94zchick, Why would you have to leave the car for a couple of weeks to get stripes?

Sadly the Comm Ed Trans Ams were too much of a "creamed corn" color when they really should have been a more Millenium Yellow color.

94zchick, Why would you have to leave the car for a couple of weeks to get stripes?

Why not? I always double what I think it takes to get anything done on my cars and I am usually right. However, I only use people I trust with my cars and are the best in their field They may take a little bit more time than someone else that I'm "just another car, get it out asap with no regards to quality" but it is always done perfectly and I never have any complaints.
It's the only way to have a car you can be proud of.

I'll want one in black.

make mine bright metalic blue. Quasar? Electron? Laser? The color of the LED' in my celphone would be awesome. With white stripes.

and how about one of those old blues from the first gen? Laguna or Nassau blue? .
Lemans blue too! I hate Gms new blues--most of them anyways, they are very dark and some have a purple tinge to them.

69 Daytona Yellow!!! :bow:

imo.

I think Royal Plum or Purple Haze would be nice. I found these pics, might need to see twin stripes instead of one.

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e306/ronbowling70/X06CC_CH060purpleblack.jpg

That's cool! I like the single stripe

What about if it matched up with the current Vette colors?
http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette/colors/

Velocity Yellow Tintcoat
Atomic Orange Metallic Tintcoat
Victory Red
Monterey Red Metallic Tincoat
Le Mans Blue Metallic
Artic White
Machine Silver Metallic
Black (I love that its just "black" and not a goofy "Midnight eclipse" or something name like the others.)

Might have to drop the tintcoat though, as its pricey. ($750 option on the Vette) And just use standard paint for those colors.

That's cool! I like the single stripe

I posted this one in the Pace Car thread also.

Something along those lines would be good. Like I said the dark purple from 91/92 is perfect.

No stripes for me please. Hate 'em.

I had a 92 Purple Haze. I loved that color.

I think it would be nice to offer the stripes over the hood, Hockey stick, or stripe delete. Give the public what they want.

As long as it's well built , inexpensive, and has more performance than the competion that's all I care about.

Those are nice. Electron Blue is really nice, say with white stripes, and not plain white, that White Diamond from the Cadillacs. Same for the Anniversary Red ( the Camaro would look awesome in this color, IMO the lines are just perfect for it) from the 03 Corvette, would be fitting for Camaro under the circumstances, and would look great with those stripes too.:D

The same yellow with black stripes as on a 69 Z28 :metal:

I want white but might give a second thought if the copper color is offered like on the 07 Avalanche.

that copper color is pretty close to Sunset Orange Metallic isn't it?... that's the color I'm hoping to get

that copper color is pretty close to Sunset Orange Metallic isn't it?... that's the color I'm hoping to get

I'm thinking the Atomic Orange Met. from the C6 is the new SOM! I may need to see the 2 colors side by side, to be sure. Electron Blue is hot too, it is going to be tough, but I'm much more inclined to go with a Metallic color over black, hugger orange, etc...

I'd like to see some new colors when it comes out. Like when the IROZC's came out. And maybe not be available on non-sport models...?
I'd like to see a break from the "plastic" look, and have a deeper, metal appearance. Not so much by using metal-flake, but paint color/tone and clear coating.

An optional double clearcoat could be cool for those of us who want our Camaros to look like they cost 4 times as much :).

How about these....

They look familiar... Did they come from this site? LOL

Regardless of what colors are offered, the only color that could possibly sway me from Silver or White is a nice Dark Purple.

But I honestly think the new Camaro will look VERY sharp in White.

Yellow would be nice, I wished they'd of made a 4th gen in yellow

You know what color I'd like to see is a dark gray, not any of this silver stuff, but a dark steel looking grey (no, not primer grey!).

I was parked next to a 2007 Camry today that was a REALLY nice dark metallic gray. I'd consider that. (But I consider Gray and Silver in the same catagory.)

I think the twin, wide racing bar stripes are overused by every car company and hotrod shop out there, I'd like to see something original for the NEW Camaro.
Something that accents its lines, top or side or both.
I remember some really nice single wide stripe chops here a year ago or so..
Also the paint itself looks like cheap toy paint, feels plastic-ky...if that makes sense?..
I'd like to see a new paint/blend that reacts to the shading caused by the body lines, dramatically...
I want my Z to look metalic and expensive, even if it's not....

Unique? I would be open to something like this if it was an option :D.
http://img.exigo.com/public/15/websites/38/images/challenger1.jpg
Sure, it's a Challenger... but the new Camaro might look nice two-toned.

I'd like one in Electron Blue with white stripes pinstriped in hugger orange. That would rock.

Bumble Bee in the upcoming Transformers movie is going to be a yellow 5th gen. I wonder if that means anything...

I hope they have a variety of different colors. It would be nice to see a bigger selection of more unique colors.

candy style paints ftw

candy style paints ftw

Retard alert.... what does FTW mean?

for the win, just saying would be nice to see some good candy style paints

Candy would be cool, but doesn't candy fade a whole lot and deteriorate in sunlight rather quickly?

im not sure about that, all i really know about them is they look nice when they are taken care of

for the win, just saying would be nice to see some good candy style paints

Thanks... I am not quite up on my internet lingo :)

BTW (by the way... I know that one :thumb: ) "retard alert" was obviously refering to me... not you, just to clarify.

Reminds me of the time I said "lol" to a girl and she thought I called her a Loser OnLine :lol:

sorry bout that, i used to play alot of online games, and of course the annoying text messages from girls every 5 minutes, so i use alot acronyms and abreviations, but on another note:

this link has some diecast concepts with black with red stripes, and white with hugger orange stripes paint schemes, just to get an idea since i have seen a black or white concept yet

http://www.diecastmuscle.com/store/Makes/Chevrolet/Camaro/

I just hope it has some great colors. [...] Then for the more adventurous: Hugger Orange, Yellow, and how about one of those old blues from the first gen? Laguna or Nassau blue? [...]

Camaros and Chevelles of the 60's were born to be painted w/ that le mans/artic blue and polar white z/28 or ss stipes. That's how I always wanted any chevrolet. I shared this opinion w/ my uncle and he failed to mention this before, but both his '67 and '69 chevelles that he baught new had that configuration.

I would like to see the 2009 in the same colors as the Z28 I bought in 69, Rallye Green with black Z stripes.
Clyde

Same colors as in '69 would be way cool!:cool:

I'm a big Pewter fan, but I don't think I'd really be all for it on teh 5th gen... :shrug:

I'm diggin the current colors, tho! Yellow is OMG! :bow:

http://aycu15.webshots.com/image/11534/2005385870053611530_rs.jpg

Silver w/ black stripe for me.

probably just black for me :shrug: with a gunmetal stripe maybe a hockey stripe. unless I see a color on the lot I really like, black is the one color I know I can't get sick of...

metallic blue with 2 white stripes, or a ghost flame.

They may take a little bit more time than someone else that I'm "just another car, get it out asap with no regards to quality" but it is always done perfectly and I never have any complaints.
It's the only way to have a car you can be proud of.

for sure!

I would love to get a Black Camaro w/ white stripes or a Blue Camaro with white stripes. I dont know why I am so obsessed with white stripes ? BTW, the stripes are most likely going to come with the RS package right ?

I personally hope someone that wants an RS doesn't HAVE to get stripes.

I'd like RS to be GFX/Spoiler, but that's just me. Even if they have GFX/Spoiler as an option I don't care if they just call it 'Sport Appearance Package' like they did for my '02 and let the 'RS' be something else. I'd pass on the RS if it included stripes though.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that it will be offered in black, so I'm happy.

z/28 GREEN or SS BLUE :thumb:

White with Hugger Orange Stripes, Black with White Stripes, Blue with Silver Stripes and White with Blue Stripes

Yellow with black stripes a la Bumblebee. Unless I see some other color when I'm at the dealer to buy it and like that color better. But I doubt it.

All black for me, stripes are for zebras

I like unique colors, but all the retro colors kinda suck... z28 green... pace car white with orange...:barf:

also no two tone stuff.

the colors they need are...

black, red, white, silver, charcoal, maybe two blues one dark one lite, and two or three new colors.
the yellow on bumble bee looks good, or something like sunset orange, maybe a new green...

Of course when I say colors like "red" i don't mean plain old "RED", it could be, but you know, a different shade, maybe some metallic flake. just make it look good.

I personally wont be getting any stripes on mine, but sure add black or white stripes as you see fit.

frankly I'm surprised at the lack of taste some people have on this board (and others).

Retro is fun to look back on, and still looks good on the old cars. but this is a new car and needs its own colors

if you remodel your kitchen are you going to get an avocado refrigerator and stove with orange counters tops?
Hay it looked good in the 60's and 70's.

My dad has yellow cabinets in his kitchen....


~~ Anyway, a deeper red, would look cool instead of the super bright red that is on the 4th and 3rds. Not saying they both can't be options, just saying a different red choice would be neat.

Clothing/fashions, appliances, it all runs in cycles and the colors/styles come back over and over again. Have you not seen the recent pink kitchen appliances reminiscent of the '50s? Trust me, harvest gold and avacado appliances will be back one of these days. And you also need to remember that no one has designated you the color/taste police, car colors are a very individual taste. You asked for charcoal, I think charcoal sucks, if they offer it and you like it, then by all means order it. I happen to like the '67-'69 Rallye Green and think it would look awesome on the new Camaro with wide, black stripes, you might not like it, but you don't have to buy it or ride in it. I say, to each his own and let's leave the quantifications about taste out of it please.

Wow....that was just a little uncalled for. I think somebody has some issues.

You might want to think about lightening up and taking your animosity off the board and to a therapist.

I am impressed that you didn't just attack one person, but an entire generation....way to apply yourself.

Taking his animosity to a therapist? What did the therapist do wrong?

Besides, there are a lot of old guys that do try to buy back their youths. Look at the prices some of the old muscle cars are demanding. That isn't a coincidence. The 5th gen concept is already pretty retro. I personally hope there is a line drawn on all of this retroness. I myself could care very little about the 1st gens.

Jesus Christ on a crutch...

It was a joke with a little bit of economical/political bite.
I'm sorry if my pointing out a stereo type about "old guys" offends you.
(I wonder why it would? :think: )

[rant]

And just so you know, it is a big problem this county will face when all the baby boomer's get old and sick in the next 10, 15, 20 years.
They will be a very heavy burden for my generation to support. I'm not attacking them, just pointing out a fact.
I personally use this as motivation to better myself so that I will not have to rely on the government for help, or burden my kids when I'm old.

But for now they are a very big portion of the consumer market with a lot of buying power. They are in their money making prime.
Companies would be retarded to not target / cater / exploit their likes; hence retro cars.

[\rant]

Anyway... I want to see what color blue the Camaro will come in. I hope not a dark navy. My second choice would be white. again, no stripes.

I have always enjoyed high performance cars and likely always will, even when I'm so old that I inadvertantly run you off the road because I couldn't see you. LOL.
Clyde

LOL!!!! That's the funniest thing I've read all day! :lol:

I'm 22, and I found that baby boomer/recapture youth post offensive too. I want to have a really cool, modern, updated early 4th gen in a few years, so I'm trying to recapture my youth as well as my car's youth. :shrug:

The only thing I can say is I don't want dull colors like those that came on the '67-'69 Camaros either. As far as '60s Muscle Cars go, I've always liked the colors the Hemicuda/Baracuda and Challenger came in. Some nice vibrant colors, but metallic would be ideal for the new 5th gen.

I wouldn't say I'm against all and any retro colors though, I love the '69 Lemans Blue GMMG used on a few ZL1 Camaros.

And just so you know, it is a big problem this county will face when all the baby boomer's get old and sick in the next 10, 15, 20 years.
They will be a very heavy burden for my generation to support. I'm not attacking them, just pointing out a fact.
I personally use this as motivation to better myself so that I will not have to rely on the government for help, or burden my kids when I'm old.

But for now they are a very big portion of the consumer market with a lot of buying power. They are in their money making prime.
Companies would be retarded to not target / cater / exploit their likes; hence retro cars.

[\rant]

Anyway... I want to see what color blue the Camaro will come in. I hope not a dark navy. My second choice would be white. again, no stripes.
You do realize that the "burden" of us supporting them isn't their fault right? :irk:

Sorry... I cant tell if your being sarcastic or not, but if you are your cool:D

I didn't place blame on anyone. Again just pointing out facts.
There are a bunch of historical events that led to this problem.
All I can do guard myself from the aftermath by being 100% self sufficient.

It was a joke with a little bit of economical/political bite.
I'm sorry if my pointing out a stereo type about "old guys" offends you.

1. Questionable sense of humor.

2. Keep wondering....last I checked 40 wasn't considered a baby boomer. And I know it's a cliché, but "old" is a state of mind. My wife (who's closer to your age than mine ) tells me I'm 40 going on 17 all the time. Don't worry though, you'll be a 40 year "old man" yourself in no time. I know my last 13 years went pretty damn quick!

Of all the things I said; all you did was defend your age......

I was expecting a little more of a rebut than that.

Not too sure what you were expecting a rebuttal on. I'll let our posts speak for themselves. I'm done with this until the subject turns back to cars.

Im not sure what to make of that as well...



ya... back to cars.

anyone have any input on my color suggestions?? Im mean really... whats wrong with them?
IMO you need to have the popular colors of TODAY so that the car will appeal to the masses, then toss in a few radical colors to build an image / identity for the car. Digging up a paint code for 40 year old car will not do that,
even if the cars do share the name "Camaro".

The only thing I can say is I don't want dull colors like those that came on the '67-'69 Camaros either. As far as '60s Muscle Cars go, I've always liked the colors the Hemicuda/

The 4th Gens came in some pretty dull colors also. At least the last few years did. It had the dullest blue and that hideous sand color that should ONLY be available on trucks and suv's.

Colors I'd like to see in the lineup would be-

Sebring Silver (from the 4th Gen)
Arctic White (from the 4th Gen)
Black (obviously)
Candy Apple Red (like the Mustangs current Dark Candy Apple Red)
The Blue from the 1991/1992 3rd Gen.
The Dark Green from the 1991/1992 3rd Gen.
The Dark Purple from the 1991/1992 3rd Gen.
Charcoal Gray
Orange (I only like the orange from Dodge/Mitsubishi)


Basically I found the color palette from 1991/1992 the best of all years. Just add some candy apple, orange, silver and gray.

Loved the silver on the 4th gens. Other than that...I'd like to see an Imperial Blue. Or a 'Slate like off the '08 Cobalt.

Colors matter for some probably most people, but i'm all about the lack of color, black! Nothing is sexier in my opinion than a freshly washed black car, yum.

well since they are giving away 3 bumblebees i guess you could say yellow is in the book but it will be limited to those 3 only.

totally agree!!

I can agree 'freshly washed' black looks fantastic.

But 'freshly washed' only lasts 10 minutes. LOL Then it's dirty again.

Gimme White or Silver that stay clean much longer. :)

yeah but as long as you have a good coat of wax on it you can just use a california car duster and clean it up nice. black isnt too bad to clean. i detail cars and majority that i do are black or darker colors. ive become a perfectionist on black and my own vehicles.

I think they should really have large color selection . I thought the colors for the Camaro have been way to bland with a few big stand outs in between . The problem with all these colors though is dealers wont order them and not many people custom order cars anymore . So alot of the cooler , colors that arent "mainstream" will appear to be unpopular when they actually probably wouldnt be if dealers just ordered them for people to buy . It soooooo hard to get a good idea of what a more different color looks on those worthless color chips without seeing it in person. Our local dealers would only for stock black , blue , silver and red throughout the 4th gens life .

Heres the color list I think would be sweet . There likely wont be any Camaro only colors , so my picks are of current 08 GM colors which Im sure will expand .

-2008 Solstice Brazen Orange -looks identical to the Camaro vert concept
-Machine Silver
-Black
-Bright white ...NOT IVORY white
-Victory Red
-Red jewel tintcoat or Sport Red tintcoat
-Jetsteam Blue
-2008 Commodore K-pow metallic ....it looks like GTO Impulse blue and is awesome
-A GOOD Gold tintcoat .....like on the 08 Daytona Z06 .
-A Pale Yellow like on the 1st gens . I dont think a shade like Competition or Millenium would look good ont he 5th gen .
-Holden Morpheous metallic ....maybe the best purple Ive seen on a OEM .
-A throwback Moss green metallic type color

Im sure the colors wont be that vast , but one can only hope :D

As long as I can get one in Red, I'm happy :cool:

-Holden Morpheous metallic ....maybe the best purple Ive seen on a OEM .

Purple is my favorite color actually. But Morpeous is too light for me. I like a very dark purple. Check out any 91/92 Camaro (or most any Chevy from those years) for what is, imo, the best purple on a vehicle ever.

im in a toss up, i love black camaros but my current chevy (a 03 blazer xtreme) is victory red and can't help to think it would be nice to have matching cars :)

My wife wants either Sport Red Metallic/Ruby Red Metallic or

Fathom Green to match her fathers 69 Z/28

I would buy 2002 Z06 electron blue or Bumblebee colour scheme.

Anything but that hunter Green!....

Seriously, why not take the best colors from each generation, up date them with modern; base coats, pearl, techniques....whatever they do....for the first year, and go from there.

I wish there were more colors. Why are there 10 colors for the trucks, but 8 for the Corvette and Camaro????

I also agree with the electron blue! That would look perfect!

If not, I vote for red with black stripes ;)

Amazing how many people on here say SOM, yet no one ever seems to buy it ;)

My dad's '02 Formula is one of 32 SOM Formulas for '02, out of the 901 built. Of the 32,000 '02 Birds, IIRC less than 1,400 were built. Makes his all the more unique :)

Myself and a good friend are planning buying orange. Our plan is to order them together to try and get the numbers close together. We both want Orange, for the heritage of the Z and also for UT Vols. My GTO is lonely and that would be a perfect ride to park next to it. I love the look of these things. I can't wait...

Dark gray or Black for me...im easy

I just hope people realize that just b/c people love a color on an SUV or truck doesn't automatically mean it'll look good on the Camaro, a sports car.
I'm for Imperial Blue or Red Jewel tintcoat...since there's no brighter blues...

I would like to see Chevrolet offer (along with whatever the current color trends are these days) a few 'Heritage' colors and changing them every 2 years to keep things fresh and exclusive. Offer up Cortez Silver and Hugger Orange for 2009 and then the following year offer Tahoe Turqoise and Royal Plumb.

There are a few 4th gen guys who just love the fact that they have one of the very few Hugger Orange LS1's out there.

I have a 69 SS and I will be bummed if there isn't a Lemans Blue with White stripe color choice to match my 69. Hugger Orange would be my 2nd choice.

i want an electron blue with white stripes or a DSOM

Anything but that hunter Green!....

I like this idea. Some classic color schemes.

If this violates any of the rules its not intentional and please delete it. I didn't see it posted anywhere so I thought I'd share. It lets you pick hockey stripes and SS stripes and a few different colors. Also as hard top and vert. Enjoy.

I saw a color on a new Silverado today that I REALLY liked.

Dark Cherry Metallic. I'd consider that.

How about that "Slate" on the '08 Cobalts? It looks SOOOOO great on those little buggers.
Not sure how it'll come off on all the Camaro's angles though.....

I currently have a Sunburst Orange '07 Avalanche and would LOVE to have a matching Camaro sitting next to it ;)

Sports cars should only be offered in black.

Only if you want to be washing it every 12 hours or less.

No thanks, I'll never buy a car in black.

White or Silver for me.

Its worth it.

And how do you figure that white hides dirt any better than black???

I've owned white. And it's all my father ever buys.

My mother, on the other hand, only buys black. But even she admits it always looks dirty unless freshly washed.

Despite what you might think, white stays cleaner looking a LOT longer than black.

I used to wash my white S10 Xtreme and after taking a swipe of the sponge I'd say 'I had no idea it was THAT dirty'.

Silver and White. Two easiest colors to keep clean looking.

I guess it depends on the overall shade. My jeep is a brighter white and I think it shows dirt just as well as my black Formula did. Silver is definitely the best for hiding dirt though..

My first Camaro was a 68 painted midnight blue. Later i repainted it black. Next i bought a white Iroc. Still my favorite. then i had a red Camaro, which i didn't want red, but.
I like white, even though it doesn't always show off the lines of the car.

I'd love to see a beautiful purple with white stripes! How about a hot pink? I don't mean pepto pink either, a nice fushia would be great!

They should offer some nice 'girl' colors! :)

I like the blue granite color from the trucks and suv's. Not sure how it would look on a Camaro, but it is a cool color.

say, has anyone done one in "Dusk Blue" yet?

They should definitely offer Cayenne Red Metallic. Which was available on the 1998 Camaro. http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/2820/z28sn6.jpg

Just gimme a bright clean white.

Would like to see a nice bronze color or burnished brown

My friend just bought back her first Camaro the other day from when she was in her teens or 20s. It was a 1972 SS in Dark Metallic Bronze and man oh man, was it beautiful. I agree that this color should make a comeback. Unfortunately pictures don't do it justice.

I like the dark dominant colors rather than the bright "sporty" look. I like the dark red metallic look...A pearl white/silver is also classy...anythink at this point sounds good....

That bronze is gorgeous. I don't think they make metallic paints like they used to.

you are right they are much better.
check out Alsa Corp website or House of Kolors. I think most manufacturers don't offer the range of colors available in the 60's or 70's. Plus cars can't be ordered like they could back then with different packages with exclusive colors.

I want my camaro like this paint which is a relatively recent innovation.
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/vonmoldy/2061025003Mini1L.jpg
Yes it is really flashy but I think it looks great even though I am not really into the flashy paint. My favorite color is the color of my 4th gen z28 I think the name is Polo Green Metallic at least thats what the color is similar to on the C4 corvette.
I think the camaro may look great in a Brown metallic. Brown tends to look like crap on relatively boring cars but cars with a lot of character and defined edges tend to have much greater highlights. for example the chocolate brown available on Porsche I say a cayman in person in this color and it looked fantastic! this is a very hard color to photograph though so this picture isnt a very good representation.

is silver even one of the 10 options? I see ice silver and gray metallic, can you get silver on a V6, or at all?

Silver Ice Metalliac IS the Silver for the '10 Camaro.

Why does the concept silver ice metallic color look so much different than the silver I'm see on the actual car? If thats the silver, why did they bother photoshopping it? silver ice looks much lighter.

That's garbage! What's the deal with BOTH blue colors not being available on the SS models?!?!?

Very disturbing that you cannot get a Blue V8 Camaro :rolleyes:

However--colours can change mid year or at worst case--for the next MY. I bet there will be a blue V8 Camaro--just not right now

How long is white going to be available?

Is it number of models, or is it a time shcedule.?//////

don't get all hung on up on white . Certain colours are almost always there--white is one of them.

Well its the only one with the tagline of "Interim Availability" and isn't included in any of the spec pdf for ordering.

Imperial Blue is 110% necessary for the SS!

i want the yellow and i want the orange and was thinking if they could sale one of those paint jobs for a hand full more money that will change between the 2 colors, depending on angle and lighting.

Color shifting paint on a muscle car?

No thanks.

Btw, you should look at the thread date before posting. Unless you have something valuable to say, don't bring up dead threads.

It's common practice on any forum site, not to be picking on you or anything. Just a tip.

Does anyone have a silver with black stripes on the road yet?

I will need to confirm my final order and I needed to get an opinion on the color combination prior to my final confirmation before it is built.

Let me know how it looks if anyone has seenit or has the car today in this color.??
Mark

Ice Silver with black stripes would look awesome and was my second choice. Decided to go with Red Jewel with black stripes. Does anyone know why Red Jewel is an upcharge? Just curious.:yes:

Two things I HATE on my car but "must" have on my car.... front license plate (NY sux) and mudguards. If anyone has any unique or classier solutions for these eyesores other than the standard stuff, I would appreciate hearing about them. Thanks. ps... this has only been bothering me for about 30 years, so no big deal... :irk:
