This is an American Co.... Red, White, Black n' Blue! (I'd include blue, as there still is IBM!)

Haha! Perhaps the National Geographic special should have come out different. "Camaros of the Serengeti:The Four Wheeled Beast"

That's a misguided statement. There are no facts to support a new blue color being introduced. IBM and ABM were 2 of the worst selling colors for the first model year. Why then would Chevy be in such a big hurry to replace ABM??
Now, it's possible IBM could be replaced by a new blue, but I don't see a second blue being added back into the mix. Just doesn't make sense.

Black is definitely my color, but if GM were to consider a new blue, I'd love to see the Berlin Blue from the Dusk concept.

I personally love bright blues.........from Mulsanne Blue in the early 70s and LeMans blue and Nassau blue of the 60s -- to the light blue metallic in 1989-90.

I was delighted when we launched bright blue metallic in 1999 -- and guess what? It lasted less than 6 months.

The reality is that while some love the color (me included) it doesn't sell in very large numbers.

Paint will deteriorate as it sits in vats...some worse than others...so when a color drops below 3 percent, we get a 30-60 day warning - if it doesn't go above that rate, it's gone. Simple as that.

Yes - some of us absolutely love Aqua Blue Metallic - I especially love it with Silver Stripes.........but the reality is that even AFTER we announced that the color would go away, the volume never materialized.

A new color costs a lot in terms of development (more than you'd ever guess) .....(and before some bodyshop guys and gals chime in - remember - we have to paint at a line rate -) and so 'drastic' colors are very risky.

Frankly, there was a LOT of heartburn about Synergy Green Metallic -- because it's a high risk color........but apparently it's being received judging by the comments I've overheard at various autoshows around the country.......

Color is a very emotional subject -- and we will never get everyone to agree on a color palette - other than about 90% believe we need to offer Black, Bright Red (....and it had BETTER be bright)....and white. (We used to call them the 'hallowed three') Silver is a close 4th even tho it's one of the most popular colors in the auto industry. After that, percentages fall off a cliff...
Ok, so we know that you know what the next new colors will be. So come on, spill it. Please tell us what the new colors for 2011 will be so we can plan our new purchases.
