That ATS looks very much like Blue Ray or a color that is more diluted gray/charcoal than BRM was.

The lighter or medium blues do look great on this body style, along with the awesome Synergy Green offered briefly a couple of years ago. The Hot wheels car, the aqua blue, those were Amazing colors.

Every time i go to the dealership to look its always the same old thing, black, white, ketchup, & mustard. Oh...and Magenta (Magenta...really GM????)

It seems they are ignoring their customers or maybe they have some colorblind people choosing paint for these cars. How many shades of red does this car need...but cant get a decent blue? Seriously wtf?

Ford seems to have no problem offering nice greens and blues with the mustang. Same thing with Dodge on the Challenger. What gives Chevy???

You must have missed my post when I explained this a few weeks ago:

Which means that if a bright blue of any sort were offered, it would either eliminate 1 colour from the other cars or replace a unique colour from the Camaro (which I believe is Bright Yellow at the moment). On the other hand, a dark blue would work fairly well on any of those other cars -and looks good on the Camaro. Sooooo ... Oshawa gets a vat of dark blue paint.

none of these cars out in the wild yet?

SS22 · 09-22-2014, 06:28 PM

None yet, just checked AutoTrader, That is usually the first place you can see photos of new colors on new cars in the wild.

The blue I wish Chevy would do is that Silver Topaz Metallic.

This is what the Spring Edition should have been, Maybe in 2015.

SS22 · 09-26-2014, 11:53 AM

I agree, would love to see a Silver Blue Camaro! If we can dream, and cant have a bright Blue.

CruisingSpeed · 09-26-2014, 12:26 PM

Meh just another boring dark blue. We've had multiple reds so why not a vibrant and rich blue. We need something like ABM but a little more mean.

What's more unbelievable is that people have 2015 BVM Camaro's and no one has posted pics.

I believe that it was mentioned BVM is on constraint and will be lifted next month, so that is why there hasn't been any pics of it posted in here yet...

They have just started being produced this past week, but I don't think there are any at dealers yet....probably next week !

Cars.com shows 19 but I think those are in transit, since none have pictures.

Hope this cures everyone's insatiable appetite.
Please try to see the beauty beyond the 401's lovely highway deposits, bird poop and Mississauga's underwhelming skyline.

Yep, no surprises here. Not a bad looking color but BRM 2.0 if you ask me.

Thanks !

I've been wanting to see that color for a long long time…..not the bright blue I was hoping for several months ago, but still very sharp !!

Looks similar to Imperial Blue to me, but maybe not quite as dark…..really like it (especially when the sun is on it) !

BR minus M. Guessing someone at GM wanted a non metallic version?

Thanks for posting the photos up.
