To each their own, but I think this car is a little to unique. The color changes too much for me. I got more of a teal/green color (though I did go in the mid evening). I know that people have said that it is a lovely blue in the right sun light, but I want a car who is going to have an amazing color 100% of the time, and the teal/green color wasn't doing it for me So for anyone thinking about getting/ordering this color before cutoff, I would highly recommend seeing it in person first. The pictures are very diverse and it is safe to say it looks like all of them depending on the angle and lighting.


I was dead set on ABM based on the pics I've seen on this Forum. When I saw it in person it look great in certain light/angles but in other angles it was to teal for me. Like others have said....anyone considering any of the colors ABM, IOM, RJT....you should see them in person to make sure the color is to your liking. I'm not hating by any means....I'm just saying that after my experience I think the best thing to do is see the color that intrests you in person.

BTW: Someone else mentioned that they were wanting to see the replacement blue once ABM is done. I don't think there is going to be one. At least not for 2010.

Why is the image so blue when captured by a camera?

Anyway I immediately called my dealer and switched my color to IBM. I think I'll be happier in the long run. I'm not sure I could handle that ABM for more than a few months. Just not my cup of tea.

Chevrolet, are you listening? Make Stryker Blue available on the camaro or bring back Electron Blue.
You should definately switch back to the ABM. I had also gone to see the ABM on an HHR while my ABM was on order and I was mortified when I saw how ugly that color was! I struggled with my color choice and changed it so many times.

I ended up sticking with the ABM and mine was the only ABM on the delivery truck. Everyone loved the ABM on the Camaro and I was blown away about how awesome the color was. The ABM on the hhr and the Camaro are so different...I don't know why or how but trust me, they are like night and day different. Try to find an ABM Camaro in your area....you will kick yourself for not getting that color once you see one in person. Trust me on this.....find one to see for yourself.

Now you're thinking with your dipstick Jimmieee!!! lol
Why would you buy a car without seeing the color first-hand?!?!?
I do like the ABM as well. Color looks killer out in the sunlight!
