Guys, I registered here just to post this about the color.
The same colors (codes/names) have variances between cars. Some can be the same, but more often than not there are differences in colors, some very subtle, like in most silvers, other quite drastic where you may think it's a different code completely, but it's just different metallics. At work, we use VIN numbers of car 03+ to tell us which variance to use when painting a car. We put in the code and get many different choices - greener, lighter, darker, bluer, etc. A lot can be said for the lighting of a room and the way a picture can distort a color. If this were taken in the sun, I would not question it, only say possible camera angle distortion, but an indoor car show....lots of different lights.
The color you are seeing quite possibly,
IS your beloved orange. Aside from all I just said, there is no reason why GM would have a show car with a different orange than what they are putting on the camaro. But you never know. I just thought I'd throw that in there. Although I've seen the other available pictures of the color at this forum, and I would come to the same conclusion. Not sure why it looks so red in those pics, an awful "orange" if that's how it turns out looking. I hope I'm right and it's more orange as shown here, but the science is sort of against that hope, being that the first available pics were taken in the sun.....crappy camera maybe?
