Dusk Blue ??? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

There's been a lot of discussion of the color choices lately, since the announcement that Cyber Gray Metallic was no longer being offered.

Fbodfather tells us that a replacement is in the works:

If we offered 50 colors -- there would still be those who were not happy with the selection.

We try our best.

So anyway, when 2cnd chance remembered the Dusk Blue SEMA car and Shurenuff dug up some pics of it, I fell in lust with the color.

I'm wondering who else feels like this would be a good replacement for Cyber Gray, and who just likes this Dusk Blue enough to choose it on a new ZL1 ?

For purposes of the poll, assume you won a contest and someone is giving you a new ZL1. You get to pick the color from the current palate with the addition of Dusk Blue.

The current colors are: Black, White, Silver, Yellow, Orange, and Victory Red.

If Dusk Blue were added, which color would you choose for your new ZL1?

(Here are some pics of Dusk Blue for reference.)

Hmm, it must have posted the thread while I was still working on the poll.

I'm slow that way.

Should be up now.

Need a option for " The dusk blue needs to go to more car shows so we can see it in person".....

But as of now I am really digging it

Scarrzz, that blue is the cat's meow....it will contrast with the black features on the ZL1 perfectly. The more I see it, the more I love it. I am all over that color. I really was looking for a darker shade of something, the CFM maybe, black would be the last resort for me, but I still want something dark enough to stand off from the black without there being too much seperation. That color fits the bill exactly for me, and is the happy medium I am looking for. That would be my choice right now if I could order today.

I like that a lot! From the second picture, it almost looks like IBM, but the color in the first picture just makes me

I like the wheels and Bodykit on this car.

Yeah, we were already digging the sleek exhaust tips on the "Replacement Colors" thread where the idea for this poll was formed.

Those rims look similar to my wife's 09 rx-8 r3

Overflow · 07-10-2011, 08:04 PM

I like Dusk Blue.

Fbodfather said that at some point IBM is coming back, dusk blue and IBM will look similar in the same line up.

I see this color more of a replacement to IBM than CGM.

Regardless, if the above line up was in fact reality, I would be driving home a Dusk Blue ZL1 in 2012.

2cnd chance · 07-10-2011, 09:07 PM

IMO the Dusk looks much closer to CGM than IBM. I think more manufacturers will be offering platinum or grey/blue shades. They are very dressy.

There's no option for none of the above...
