Why is Aqua Blue Metallics least liked???? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have seen all the colors in person, all the metallics are really sharp, I feel it comes down what color you like. I went with IOM, you HAVE TO SEE IT IN PERSON in the SUN, but my truck is "Screaming Yellow" so apparently i like bright. I was really torn between IBM, ABM, CGM with accents they are all really sharp. Wish I could have a color selector inside the car.

IOM, Click ABM, Click black at night to sneak.

Well, if you are affraid of any attention, you shouldn't even consider buying a camaro. I personally like my cars/trucks with a little flash, I have been driving a BRIGHT YELLOW car/truck for the last 7 years, if nothing else, its easy to find in a parking lot!! I had two choices, either Aqua Blue or Inferno Orqange, once I saw the IOM in person, for me, it was the only way to go. If I couldn't get one, the next choice was Aqua Blue, as I could have drove one off that very day, as the dealer had one outfitted exactly the way I wanted it.

Was timid during the long wait to see it in person, but had faith so my ABM was ordered on 10/17/08. When it finally made it to the dealership I KNEW I made the right decision. The color is amazing, under some artificial lighting it can be a little green, but out on the street and in the sun it looks exactly how I hoped it would. Every conversation starts with "What color is that? It's great!"

The pics of it here look pretty good though, I'll admit it never crossed my mind because I though it would end up more girly looking. I was wrong!

Aqua is more of a "girly-80's-GEO Metro" color.

That being said, ABM is my second favorite color.

I think folks already backed up this problem. The color in person is so much nicer than a photoshop. GM/Chevy did not do it justice in the photoshop pics. I tell you, when people see this car in person they will have wished they ordered the color, imo.

People are starting to rave about this color. I am betting the number of orders will jump once people start seeing this car and ordering it.

It is your classic Aqua Blue Camaro color!

It is not girly. Red is more girly, imo. Especially the RJ, but I don't want to start a war, it is just my opinion.

Don't think of it as Aqua = blue/ green color, but as aqua = water blue! Have you ever seen beautiful blue water in a swimming pool?

Vash · 07-20-2009, 03:12 PM

Yea the subject is just fail. No other way to explain it.

ABM is the win.

I can see what you mean... and I was thinking of the water at some of the beaches in Okinawa (or Hawaii, but i haven't been there)

The base is a greenish. Look at the trunk battery compartment pictures. The clearcoat give it the final color look.

markssylver · 07-20-2009, 03:32 PM

i didnt get it because i looked at a hhr that was also called abm and it looked like it had too much green in it but the camaro looks totaly different in color

SleepWarz · 07-20-2009, 03:40 PM

ABM, dont order it.

Thanks guys. =)

I want my car to be rarer =p

ABM is gorgeous in the right light, but in some lighting (flourescent or cloudy days) it looks too green for me. When I saw this pic I almost changed my order:

But when I saw these pics I decided against it.
