Look at it this way.. If you get bored of your shade of blue.. Just wait till it gets dark and bam! All new!

But yeh i ordered ABM because in person i didn't think any of the other colors looked better.. Plus it jumps out at you.. And hell.. Im an attention whore

CGM was my original choice judging off online photos..

ABM, IOM and RJT all change colors depending on light or lack of....it is the metallics that make them change and pop in the sun light.

All of these colors have metal flake or something in the paint that provides a lot of variation. If you don't want a "shade shifting" color, pick white, red, yellow silver or black.

But the chances of you being able to order and get an ABM are pretty slim. There are several threads here talking about that color ending production in the next few weeks.

Agreed my red jewel can actually appear brown in certain light.

2nd that! Only seen one in person and it was on a sunny day = teal.

hrm...day I picked mine up it was sunny....and there was no teal. (although the teal definitely comes out in different light).

To me, this picture is pretty accurate in how I felt the car looked in person that day...and man was it gorgeous.

Reminds me of the girl I picked up last night

It looks real blue in the sunshine and with any car, will be darker with the lack of sun.

I got the IOM and it does look reddish when dark or depending on parking lot lighting.

Yes, metallics are always changing colors.
That's the beauty of metallics
Even SIM looks white at times.

My concern when I ordered my ABM is that it may be too light blue. It is NOT. It certainly is not too dark either, but like others have stated here it depends on the lighting conditions. Any way I see it, I love it.

Here's a pic of mine in BRIGHT sunlight, it looked exactly like this in person, btw.



White stripes help bring out the blue as well, the teal showed up much more in mine before I got the stripes, esp. in darker lighting.

Run down to the Chevy dealership and look at the HHR, the Cobalt, the small pickup (can't remember the model), etc. They all have the exact same ABM paint on them. Of course that paint will look better on the Camaro but it will at least give you an idea of what it will look like in different weather conditions. ABM is on the chopping block too so keep that in mind. Kinda wish IBM was the one getting cut so mine would be even more rare. Good luck.

Those are great looking pics ,but I just wish it looked like that to me in person.
Their was one in the show room the other day when I picked up mine and my wife even said it looked somewhat teal. May be it was the lighting inside.

ABM is only on the Camaro, Canyon, Colorado, HHR, Impala, and Vue. Just so you know...
