When we make color choices, the color is shown under many different lighting conditions -- further, in order to have a voice in color choices, one must pass a "color test" at GM Design - (you would NOT BELIEVE how comprehensive this test is!!!) -- and if you miss more than 5 out of 250, you cannot have anything to do with color choice as you have varying degrees of color distortion or color blindness!

None of this lime green stuff...... it's cool, like it was on the '70 Hemi 'Cuda, but not as classy and sophisticated as a dark green

Without seeing anything I agree with fastball. I like the darker shades. With that said and with everything I know now about this car... I'm putting my faith with fbodfather and the color choice process.

Hell, I ordered IOM in October without seeing it and went thru months, MONTHS, of speculation about the color. After seeing it with my own eyes two weeks ago... I could not be happier with it. Well maybe if it was actually in my garage But that will come.

I'm blind to greens other than those that I have an affinity for. does that count scott?

Bright greens can look quite good on sporty vehicles.

I always thought Chuck's choice for his C5 was actually very nice...
I got the joke of the dragon tail body side moldings, but I wouldn't have gone there...

that is a sick car. I would like a slightly darker green than that, but that car is just

I'll put my faith in fbodfather, and all, but I know that it still won't be a green for me. I'm sure it'll look fine. I guess I'm just closed minded towards greens. =P

That test sounds crazy!! But I do like how in-depth and comprehensive you guys are over there. Just one more reason GM is number one in my book! I'm always impressed by the things you say you all go through just to make a car. Makes me realize just how involved it really is and how much you all care. Thank you!

Hey, i didn't know Mopar made Corvettes

[VenomZ302]

Just an update...

Since I've made another that I think is closer to the picture of the Silverado under show lighting, I figured I'd post it here, too.



Still not my cup of tea, though. Oh, well.

Bret03's photoshop green is awesome nice, i'd drive it.

but in the interest of 'anti-mopar color on a camaro', a dark green like Milks w/ black or white stripes would like reaallll nice

Hey everyone, I am new to the site although I have been reading it everyday since early last year. I am huge camaro fan and currently own an '01 Z28 and '88 SC. I love them both. Anyways long story short, I, like so many of you, ordered an RS/SS/2SS on 12/01/08. I originally ordered in CGM with hurst. Dealer then told me CGM and hurst was on constraint, so I switched to black, no hurst. This was not that big of a deal to me. I am priority 3 out of the three allocations at the dealership I chose. the first one has been built and the second one pulled. I am still at 1100, but the dealer expects it to be pulled very soon. (I ordered from a ritzy Chevy dealer in Darien CT, very wealthy area, as I figured they would definitely have allocations and the did) Anyways, the dealer had told me they would sell it to me at GMS price (my father is a 40 year retiree) now that the car is a few weeks out they have reneged and want MSRP. As sad as that may be I want the car so bad that I was willing to eat the loss and just get the damn car. Now that I see this green color I am so excited I have always loved green camaros, when I was in HS the green 95's with the black mirrors and tan interior I always thought was very hot. OK enough.. Long story short, I want the GREEN!! So if anyone can confirm for me for sure that this green is really going to be offered would be a huge deal for me. I would the go cancel my order and wait for the green, plus if its a late intro, the order will probably be outside of allocation hence maybe a better chance at getting the GMS pricing. I was at the Javitz in '06 when the pulled the cover off of this thing so I have waited this long, a couple of more weeks won't kill me especially if I can get that beautiful green. Anyways I appreciate anyone's feedback, and I enjoy reading the site everyday, you guys are all awesome.

Thanks

Unfortunately, nobody can confirm it yet everyone can tell you it's coming. Just one of those things...

There is no real way of telling you for sure if there will be a green Camaro. But when it comes to the Camaro you can trust people like 80Zedder and fbodfather. Zedder works at the plant and if you don't know who fbodfather is, do a quick google search on Scott Settlemier.
and there's also some trustworthy people who know what they're talking about. Like Hylton.

However, the thing is that we don't know when this color will be offered or even if it'll be offered. It could be late this year, or next MY or even two years from know.

There's no real way to tell you for sure.
