I have two pictures of each and a link to the thread you posted above. Other than seeing them in person, these pictures show the contrasting differences between the two colors...

This is a much better picture to show how the color really looks.

...and by the way, just to show how pictures can play with the color...
Look at the first two photos in this thread of the '01 and the '69. They don't even appear to be same shade of orange. Infact, the car in the BRIGHTER lighting looks DARKER in the pictures. Same happens to IOM. |

Camera, lighting, it all makes a BIG difference....Like home movies vs. Hollywood...Mine were taken mid-day mostly cloudy.

Sorry, can't change the rules to a metallic hugger. You're pitting the metallic and pearlescent Inferno Orange against plain jane Hugger Orange.
And you also can't use a child's mind to judge anything. In high school I drove a 1978 Monte Carlo that was painted the exact same color as a Minilla Folder, and my 3 year old sister called it the "orange car". |

I would not describe an orange like that found on the concept 'vert as bland, boring and flat. In that sense, it would get my vote. Whether or not I'd buy it over IOM, I can't answer. I'd have to see the two side by side, but I would likely still be drawn to IOM. |

xl1200r,
So by showing a picture of IOM that makes it look closer to Hugger orange instead of the actual color that it is makes you happy, be my guest. I have seen the color in person and it does not look at all like the picture of the Hummer you posted above or the solstice. Under heavy artificial lighting indoors, victory red can look orange as I have witnessed yesterday at the Miami auto show. below is victory red under heavy lighting and it looks more orange than your example of IOM on the solstice.. The pictures even fooled me into thinking it was IOM. However at the autoshow, the red RS badge looks orange due to the lighting as well.. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9461 Victory Red RS below (not IOM)

The pictures I posted were only to show that if you can make an orange look both really bright orange, and really dark (almost red), then the real color likely exists somewhere in the middle.
Buy what you like, paint your car like a traffic cone, i don't really care. I've made my case and I'm done with this childish thread. I posted against my better judgement in the first place. |
