EXACTLY !!! A true medium shade of metallic blue should be offered , no green tones , no purple tones ect . I think the only cool shade of medium blue GM has going for it right now is actually holden blue , and that is Stryker Blue . I would say Jetstream as well , but thats more on the lighter end of the spectrum . They really havent had a sweet shade of meduim since electron , quazar and arrival blues dissapeared .

I agree on both counts. Your car is quite lovely and Polo Green Metallic is a great color. I also agree with 90 Z28SS that recently GM's blues have been of questionable merit.

Having seen the Aqua blue in person numerous times, I got to say- for a guy who has only owned red cars, it's an awesome color for the Camaro in person!

The aqua blue story reminds me of the Barbados blue offered on the 04 GTO, I tried hard to find one but they were VERY rare (havent seen one in years) So I got the next best thing: Pulse Red.

I saw an Aqua Blue car with painted on white stripes in the wild this Friday. It looked simply killer. I have to admit I was surprised.

Next to Cyber Grey, Aqua Blue was my favorite color for the Camaro

I hope Synergy Green looks better in person than it does in the pictures...

Rumors have it that new Blue is in the works for the 2011 model year . . . any have more info on this?

If nothing new is available, I'm going to order an ABM as a special order . . . provided I can get the dealer to work with me on it! Must have an order of 6 identical in order to do this.
