What color 5th gen will you buy?

Just curious what the trends on color selection are for the members here.

Re: What color 5th gen will you buy?

It's so hard for me to answer this question without actually seeing the car... to me, one color can look AWESOME on one car, and terrible on the next.

That being said, I'm a sucker for a deep, rich blue... like my 95 Admiral Blue Corvette was, and my 04 Impulse Blue GTO is...

Re: What color 5th gen will you buy?

I have owned 2 red Camaro's and 1 black one and while I was looking for my 95' Z, I wanted to get med quazar blue metallic but I couldn't find one with the specifications that I wanted. My favorite color on a car is the admiral blue on the C4's, so if they made a color close to that on a Camaro, I just might have to choose that one.

Hugger Orange ... '09 only color ... just like '99.

If Chevy doesn't offer it, it'll leave the factory black.

IMO the only color a car should ever be painted is black.

Re: What color 5th gen will you buy?

I would take the orange. Black is way too hard to keep clean for more than 24 hours, especially daily driven in PA.

Re: What color 5th gen will you buy?

I chose blue with my #1 fav would be LeMans Blue Metallic but if hte color costs too much to put on a Camaro they better offer both Lazer Blue Metallic and Superior Blue Metallic lol. I'd have to go with a coin flip if both of them were on the color choices sheet.

But Lemans Blue all the way!

Re: What color 5th gen will you buy?

Lemans Blue.. that color is gorgeous..., however the Navy blue is also unique.. in that it has shades of purple and black at diff. angles and at diff. times of the day so it's a toss up. I'll end up getting blue one way or another though so it's cool with me.

Re: What color 5th gen will you buy?

If the silver ends up being like the current Silverstone color, I will be looking at other colors. For me, it's too white-ish. If it's a Sebring or just a plain silver, I'll be there. Why no Hugger Orange option? That would be high on my list.

My color choices in order:

1. Gunmetal (or any slight bluish/silvery charcoal color)
2. Silver
3. Charcoal
4. Hugger Orange (possibly SOM too)
5. Bright Blue

I would be perfectly happy if white, black and red would take a hiatus of their own. Far too many cars in those colors. Gets kinda boring.

Re: What color 5th gen will you buy?

Blue, like the GS Corvette blue, also possibly a blue gray like the Cyclone gray metallic from the current GTO. Also, Hugger orange it has both heritage and a killer look to it! On the other hand, I don't like the metallic burnt orange that seems to be in vogue now.
