I wouldn't complain. Even if it were to be a color I would not buy.....

LOL!
I have been pretty vocal about a one off from the get go.
Also...not one of the colors mentioned this thread is really "Custom."
They are only custom if you apply them to your car.
Every color that has been mentioned in all the threads all the way from
the first gen colors, to discontinued colors, to other manf colors (the big three and imports too)(ABM, RJT etc) can still be bought from any PPG paint supply and the like. GM could still use these same colors they have been using for eons and do what they always do.. Simply rename them!
As far as the OP the colors are "OK"
that does not mean that I am 150% happy about them. Maybe 95.5% is more like it.. But I think on a $50k to $60k color car you should have at least a few more options on color. GM would not even have to "develop' a new color. Simply go back and pick one or two out of the archives, rename it and see what happens. On the new 2012 colors we have 3 variants of Red. I think the reds are covered.
We have one Interim of Blue, IBM. That means GM "could" pull a blue out of the archives or a color used on another line of chevy... ABM, Dusk Blue, Sonic Blue, Lemans, Bright Blue Metallic, Mystic Teal Poly, Bermuda Blue....
and so forth....
We have one White... why not a flat white? Those flat whites look stellar don't they in the other post? Flat white, maybe even a pearl white....
We have Silver Ice.... well for the grays and silver we have CGM (pull it and use it) Ashen Gray...and SIM.... That should about do it for the grays as there is only so much you can do with a shade...and not actual color...
Yellow...Now theres one.. Why not sunrise gold? Metallic Gold Poly? (made that one up) make a yellow with some flake in it with maybe a hinge of green or something in it.. Is there anything in GM's archives in the last 30 years to keep them from making another Gold? I recall plenty... No greens...
How about at least one Green? A British Racing Green from the first gens?
Synergy Green.. Pull it out for Zl1... Green Gold Metallic from the 4th gens...
Pull it out and use it... Bowling Green Metallic anyone?
That ought to at least give us some primary colors that are "missing" from the palette so to speak...even if they are in a shade we don't care for.
Right fellas and gals?
