Vote for your least favorite color on the Camaro

The colors that i feel accentuate the camaro the best and give it the best stance and showcase in my opinion are these

Hot Colors
-Silver Ice Metallic (makes car look luxurious)
-Inferno Orange Metallic (unique color that really pops in the sun)
-Black (makes car look menacing)
-Cyber Gray Metallic (same effect as black but a different shade so you don't have black like everyone else)
-Aqua Blue Metallic (gives car old school muscle car look)

These are the colors that i think don't add to the car and make the car look rather plain and bland...and too bulky

Ugly Colors
-Rally Yellow
-Summit White

Colors that i think are ok and neither don't pop as much or seem lacking but aren't hideous
Not Bad and even good from certain angles
-Red (this one looks better up close but from afar lacks pop)
-Red Jewel Tintcoat ( this color is more for like a lexus or buick or luxury vehicle not a camaro but its not an ugly color)

Unsure
-Imperial blue metallic...

gets its own category because its dark enough to be confused with black which makes the car look menacing but its not really exciting but in the family of black and cgm in terms of looking menacing and not a bad color at all...i rank it higher than the reds

Not exactly sure why i feel this way but its what my eye sees...no intent to offend people...for instance i think on certain cars white and red look fantastic...but this white lacks shine and this red seems off and it seems more appropriate on a slimmer car like a corvette and ferrari...where colors like black are the perfect contrast for the red taillaights...with red the tailights don't stand out for instance and the rear is one of the best looking parts of the car if not the best part of it

Synergy green is so hideous i will not include it in this poll because it would be unfair to all the other participants

lol... i own a black one... but i think Camaros look best when ALL THE COLOURS ARE TOGETHER! Also... your UGLY category, i have to dissagree. If you have some Stripes, it saves them and makes them better than some of the others. Honestly, Not a fair vote lol. I own a black... to me, black can look serious, can look sleek, and can look luxurious all at the same time.

You know it's funny, when I bought my rally yellow three of the parts guys came up to me and said yellow is the only way to go, then 2 salesmen said the same thing. One guy said he would only get black lol. Girlfriends dad said yellow suits this car perfectly. Everyone loves the yellow around here. I honestly think yellow, black, and red are this cars best colors.

Okay:
Red
Aqua Blue Metallic

Bad:

Inferno Orange Metallic (okay. It's ORANGE, people. )

Hideous (The "Kill Me Now" category):

Yeah, yeah, all colour views are subjective. That being said, my view is law.

Black and RJT were a close second to my choice to get a CGM. It was a very close race between the three colors.

Uh Oh.... I hope they don't for starting yet another color choice thread.

Your obviously not a camaro person.

As for the green.... last show my daughter's Synergy was in folks were crowded around it. Not one person disliked it. The Hennessey 800 HPE sitting 2 cars down did not garner near as much interest. Folks wanted to know if it was custom painted and what color it was. There were well over 300 cars in that show. Folks there were car people.

IMHO opinion there is not a bad color camaro. Now somefolks will mess up the looks with hideous additions...... but the camaro is a great looking car in any color.

Least favorite (for not wanting to say ugly) Colors to me (emphasis on TO ME):

-Synergy Green (sorry, SG owners, I know you guys are a proud bunch,)
-SIM (makes it look like a rental car in that gray)

I love Victory Red, Summit White, Black, ABM, Yellow, and IOM.

I'm so-so about CGM, RJT, IBM.

Very well stated. I agree, definitely not ugly, just not well liked by me.
That being said, I would take a white Camaro before I drove any color Civic, Prius, etc...

yellow, ewww... i had a yellow car, it got me in more trouble than silver, black, white did... personally though, yellow, orange, green, and some red and blue colors label drivers as desiring attention.. the "look at me" syndrome... def a turn off to me... all i drive are white vehicles because it's the least conspicuous, easy to clean, reflects sunlight therefore is not as hot as black, and not as boring as silver..
