Since these color threads started some time ago, I have been looking at every car and it's color wherever I come across them on the street or in parking lots. Honestly, there has not been anything I can say...hey, look at that color! I sure wish Chevy would offer that as a new color!!! Vanilla or chocolate, or how about strawberry? I am one of those wishy washy people who has trouble picking "favorites" with everday ordinary things. Having said that... I love my midnight blue metallic 1973 Z-28, and I would buy the matching bookend in 2012 if offered. We have been looking at new Camaro's in the dealers since they first hit the lots....on a monthly basis.... Initially the cyber gray metallic was the hot deal for me, I thought that would offset the black features and optional stripes perfectly for us. I like a darker color scheme. That was so until I saw the 2010 SS under enough lighting and weather conditions. Sometimes it looks like dull gray putty. Well, thats not me.....soooo, I am still on the fence standing, waiting, looking. Anywho...it's a bit away until the final list is in for the ZL1. These modern paint finishes change color way too much in my opinion. Maybe I am just too picky. I can stand in the grocery store for a half hour looking at all the cereal boxes with indecision (LOL). The dusk blue SEMA color looked pretty good as shown here, but it's just pics, and likely it would have the same negative effect to me under varying lighting and weather conditions. As stated previously by far wiser people than I: color is subjective. I hope this new "grey", or member of the grey family has more darkness and depth to it. I think it would be better on the darker side of the CGM spectrum rather than lighter. Midnight carbon grey? IBM is cool but changes the wrong way for me under similar condiitons where it loses it's blue identitiy. I dunno....I'm goin back to the lot again today in the bright sun and look at IBM again and go color crazy for a while....LOL
