Mustang wins the color game. Two blues, yellow blaze metallic (replaced sunset gold) and the Lava Red (which replaced their gray this year). Camaro should take some more creative risk with their paint schemes, i think they're underestimating how much stock people put into the color of their car.
There are some colors on the Mustang I like. Like the yellow that looks more like Bumble Bee yellow, but they have a blue that looks too Smurfarific to me...

Anyway my reply, I agree I personally love bold colors as MILK has stated many times, but to say GM is not doing something right or anything like that is a bit far fetched, I mean obviously they are doing something right, they outsell the mustang every month now... So how can you say Mustang wins the color game. GM employees people who analyze the market to determine what colors people are buying. Looks like they are winning to me.
Just food for thought.
