Either Hugger Orange with white stripes or a dark grey with black stripes, but it could change when I see color options in person...someday...

Aren't they interchangable? Like I said, my top 5 favorite colors are Purple, Green, White, Black and Silver.

I've owned 2 Teal Green cars, 2 Silver cars and a White truck. I'd gladly purchase a car in deep purple if I could find the right shade.

And the only thing stopping me from ever owning black is the fact that it's only clean for 5 minutes after you wash it and shows every water spot, hairline scratch, etc...

Favorite color #6 is yellow.

I have a different favorite color for different things.

I think the Camaro looks best in the Black/Orange paintjob Dragon chopped for us.

I like the contrasting colors of black and white for home decor, but I would never put it in my home. I like silver or black for appliances. For clothes, I like to have a selection: blue, black, dark green, white, and grey mostly. I like the color red, but I can't think of anything that I'd want to be that color.

If I were to pick the most versatile color, I'd pick grey/silver though. Almost anything can look good in grey or silver. But it's also not all that interesting of a color.

Black

Most people say that they like a dark colour, black is that idea taken to its ultimate conclusion. Black is a no nonsense, it isn't a 'fun' colour. On cars, it is the most popular way to make an impression on someone, be it a black limo, a black muscle car, or those black suburbans we all fear.

That's why you add a secondary color on trim or something to spice it up.

IMO nothing looks better than silver with some highlights of Green, Purple, or Blue.

I think I'd like a dark charcoal grey... or Gunmetal... the new trucks have a beautiful charcoal color that I've fallen in love with...

*Mindz* · 12-18-2007, 08:16 PM

like I said my favorite color is green, but my camaro is below. Looks the best on the vert imho. Great combination.

my favorite colors have nothing to do with the color i want my camaro in though.... I want bumblebee... ( I know paint will be a little different b ut there will be something close i'm sure.!)

Emher · 12-19-2007, 11:29 AM

Yellow for my Camaro, otherwise it's green. Used to like it on cars too, but no longer for some reason. Love it in loads of other areas.

Elkyboy64 · 12-19-2007, 11:35 AM

Cortez Silver. I like silver/grey. I also like the copper or burnt orange colors.

*The_Blur* · 12-20-2007, 07:33 PM

It's not about what you're going to get on your car as your primary color.

Some people like colors that just don't look good on everything.

Green is a great example.

Since I already told you mine is better, it's time to explain why. "Oh, dear—why, The_Blur, is your color superior to mine?" That's a great question. I'm glad you asked. Green has significance and value in our society.

As all of you know, green is the American color of success, evidenced in money. Our money, unlike most nations' money, has only one major color, and that color is green. For me, success is important for me to buy a Camaro since I have $0 in the bank right now for it, I will need to make bank after college to afford my Camaro, which I will probably dress with green accenting. Green would cost far too much and look too weird as a paint color for the whole car, so I will add traditional muscle car stripes in green to signify the future success of my Camaro on the track and to symbolize the successful saving and work I would have performed to get my new whip.

I reserve the right to add arguments to assert that my color is better than your color—so there.
