Aqua blue....too girly? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I prefer IBM but the aqua blue looked very nice in person. None of the colours offered by GM make the car look girly.

NO!

Too girly? no.
I think it's a nice classic color. although it's not at the top of my list for color choice.

It is your car. Love it the way you love it.

what was that?

Once you see it in person, all you will be saying is WOW (on the Camaro )

I'd wouldn't mind GM add a color or two that would appeal more to the ladies. I'm sure there are more than a few women out there with orders in.

Tell them they can get whatever color they want on theirs, you get what you want on yours. Its gonna be one of the more rare colors, trust me.

Brangeta · 03-23-2009, 03:38 AM

Girly? I've never understood that thought. I like rare colors, purple, bright blue, etc. If the car being "pretty" makes it girly, then go for "girly" over "macho." "Macho" always means "common," "acceptable," and all the other guys have it. Be different.

I actually have my fingers crossed that Jetstream Blue or Bright Purple Metallic will eventually be offered on the 5th gen. I'm going to wait... patiently.

It isn't at all girly.

Tal · 03-23-2009, 04:36 AM

The only way to make the Camaro girly IMO would be some sort of pink or possibly purple.
Or ABM with an auto V6.

Z/28orSs · 03-23-2009, 05:27 AM

it looks almost light green in person or mabey im nuts?

fixxer56 · 03-23-2009, 06:29 AM

at all a girly color on the Camaro, more of a Heritage color if anything..been around in similar forms since 67

Optimus Prime · 03-23-2009, 10:06 AM

TommyGunn, have you seen the ABM in person yet? If not, there is a pic on here somewhere of ABM that looks dead on, with a good light green hue in the light and an aqua blue color out of it. Also, if you haven't seen it in person, be aware that most pics of it on this site are a bit deceptive. In the light it's much more green than the pics show. My personal taste is that it's too bright, and I've always just liked a darker blue, so I got IBM. But I would NEVER label it "girly". I had a 4th gen Mystic Teal Metallic Camaro, which was a bit darker than ABM but same effect, and a lot of different people loved that color.

Phil Oliver · 03-23-2009, 10:21 AM

my wife thought it was the nicest colour offered

Chevyrocker · 03-23-2009, 10:34 AM

I'm on the fence. I saw it on an HHR, and I immediately thought, WOW that is one girly lookin vehicle a lot of green hues kind of make it look tealish (yep, made that up). From the pictures I saw, it looks great on the Camaro. I personally woudn't buy it, but who cares what I think...I'm not the one driving it.
