Love my Carbon Flash Metallic! I don't care how old you are, I'm 47, get what color makes you happy is my opinion. If someone puts an age on the color of your car, that's their problem. I would never let someone else's opinion dictate my choices.

Don't listen to them. The color you like is the correct color for you, regardless of what other says.

I'm 47 and have a Bright Yellow on order, and I will never regret that choice.

This is a car that stand out on it's own, so why not choose a nice bold color for a bold car. But again, as long as you and I like our choices, then it's the correct color.

Hope that came out right in my Swedish English (Swenglish) :-)

Black and red looks the sexiest IMO
Only thing is black is the hardest to take care off

I came very close to buying a RY vert. I stuck with VR simply because its my favorite color (I've also owned red third and fourth gens, so at least I'm consistent). No regrets and no hassles either.

Whenever i went out scouting for my camaro i had set in my mind that i wanted a summit white. Whenever i got to the dealership i found out that they had just sold the only summit white that they had. I was pretty bummed but the owner told me that they had a 2013 2SS/RS in SIM that had just rolled off of the truck. He took me into the service area where it was and i knew then that it was the one. I have zero regrets, i love the SIM

My ABM SHINES in the sun...and as one of the rarest colors, it can only get better with age! Wouldn't change a thing.

She was the 3466th Gen 5, only the 16th ABM, and the 3rd ABM 1SS made.

The only colors I would regret is black or yellow. I think they both look fantastic, but I have had black cars and I am waaaaay to picky and spend way to much time detailing and polishing. I promised myself (and my wife) that I will never own another black vehicle.
I won't buy a yellow Camaro because I am not a Transformers fan and don't want people calling my car Bumblebee. If that movie never came out, I would have considered yellow. (no offense to any yellow owners or transformers lovers.)

There is not a color that looks bad on a 5th Gen Camaro!

I truly think all the colors for the 5th Gens are great. I did, however, think down the road regarding maintenance and ease of care for the color of my car... that's why I chose SIM. This summer I frequently spot-cleaned areas where bugs and road crud seem to accumulate (grilles, mirrors, front bumper and front of hood - for bugs - and rear lower quarters behind wheels, rear defuser and rear bumper - for crud). Otherwise, one good washing every two or three weeks keeps her looking good. No regrets whatsoever.
