different blue then we have seen?

could this possibly be another color other then aqua blue? this one looks good in the sunlight, no hints of green anywhere, yet other pics we have seen of aqua blue show it to be green tinged all over even in the sunlight. is it possible gm revised the color of the car and offered a different version?

I'm not sure if GM took the time or energy to revise the color but I think that color is reacting better to the sharper and crisper lines of the Camaro than of the HHR. Obviously it's hard to tell as in different lights and camera settings but I'll say it certainly looks a lot better on the Camaro than the HHR.

It definately looks like a nice blue in those pictures, but I still wouldn't order it after seeing the color on the Camaro in real life. Not a fan at all.

If you look at the pics closely you will see tons of artificial light on the sides. They have some serious movie lights on that car.

Don't see a hint of the green tint coat in those pics though.....unless they color corrected the pics (entirely possible...they probably thought the green was a mistake too )

It does look like a new color. I'm sure it's not, but it really looks like a different blue in those pics.
It's too bad that color wasn't an actual Camaro color cuz it really looks good.

Its most likely ABM under different lighting. Regardless, I plan on ordering mine in ABM. The only decision now is stripes or no-stripes. (Leaning towards "no-stripes".)

Could very well be the same exact color. I've seen the color in different light and it always looks different. Also, every camera sees the color differently too. So the Camaro and HHR were taken with different cameras so that alone could account for the difference. The color just doesn't photograph right. (using digital) same goes for Inferno Orange.

Yep.

I don't know if the lighting enhancement is from powered lighting or well placed reflectors.

It isn't single sourced lighting, that's for sure.

Now if I can only get a lighting crew to follow me around while I drive an ABM Camaro, I'll be all set.
