Exclamation Saw aqua blue today.. Help!

At first I had origionally ordered black... then I saw a bunch of pictures of imperial blue metallic and I was sure I was getting that... Well today I saw aqua blue metallic and it was beautiful combined with the white stripes.. I still have some time left to change my order... So what would you go for? (havent seen imperial blue) Imperial blue, or aqua blue. (and yes I know its my car and I should decide but still)

Aqua blue stands out more. All depends on what you want.

When I get my Camaro, it'll be ABM with white rally's. That combo looks so beautiful

Plus my HHR is IBM and I would want a change. IBM is a little hard to keep clean too IMO.

I have the Imperial Blue Metallic and I love it!! It is a fairly deep blue. Although I would like the Aqua too.
Good luck.

I'm in the same boat...unfortunately I haven't seen both in person. I think I'll be going with ABM though.

ABM is the way to go. It is not too light or too dark, just perfect. It will be the color people will be sorry that they did not order.

This is an easy one for me Aqua Blue Metallic. I am going Friday to pick up my Aqua Blue Metallic RS with White Rallys Stripes and I can't wait. Words can't describe how excited I am. Imperial Blue Metallic looks good too but I think it is too dark of a blue in my opinion. Plus my Mitsubishi Eclipse is almost exactly the same color as Imperial Blue Metallic and I am kind of tired of that dark of a blue after four years so I might be kind of biased.

ABM!!!...100% AGREED!!!!...it looks different in every light, just like the RJT, and the IOM....

BTW, I think that there is NO COLOR out there that would not look fantastic on this car...

Before going to Carlisle, PA in June for the Camaro/GM Nationals, the only colors I had seen in person were: RJT and Victory Red...but at Carlisle I saw the car in every single color made and each has its own merits...it's a personal choice, but I think there is no way for this car to not look AMAZING!!!

With stripes, without stripes, with ground effects, without ground effects...I could go on and on like a "CAMARO COMMERCIAL"....

I'll tell you that I ordered Aqua Blue Metallic and I know I'll be 100% pleased with it when I take delivery, but what do you want? Dark or light(er)? Something that looks black from a distance or something that's pretty blatantly blue?

I saw my first Imperial Blue a few weeks ago and was extremely impressed. Then I saw the Aqua Blue and was equally impressed. The ABM has a shimmer to it that gives it a lighter less serious personality, while the Imperial Blue was simply a stunning car making a statement about power and control. At first glance the IBM looks almost Black, until you put it beside a Black Camaro. So if you are about fun in your Camaro order the ABM, if you want to appear you mean business order the IBM. Just my opinion and the emotions that I felt when standing next to the 2 cars.

ABM is a really classic Camaro color, imo, just like the IOM which was a close 2nd choice for me.

Aqua Blue went waaaay too green in direct sunlight for my tastes. It is your car, you're writing the checks - you make the decision.
