Aqua Blue is not a color available on Vette's.

It was in Columbia? Dammit! Could have stopped by on the way up to Greensboro!

Thanks for the pictures, everyone, but that wasn't exactly the point of the thread. I'd love to see which pictures turn you off from ABM.

This is an easy one for me. The pic that immediately turned me off was the Disney pic. The shade of Aqua in this pic has too much green hue or something. I also think the heritage wheels ruined it for me too. Not sure any color would look good with those wheels IMO.

Okay, but what if the wheels were different? If you cover up the wheels, does the color look better?

They do make the Camaro in that color blue.

Sorry, I edited my post and added a comment about the shade of aqua in this pic that had too much green hue in it (if I said that right). This color looks fine in other lighting conditions but when you asked for the worst pic, this one immediately came to mind.

Do you mean the same color as the GTO pic?? Unless that pic has some really unusual lighting for effect, I would have to disagree. That is neither the same as ABM or IBM. ABM has more green in it and IBM is much much darker than that. JMO

Yeah, your right. The GTO blue is called IBM, but it's not the same.

ABM was going to be my color choice and when I saw it in person on a HHR I din't get within 10 feet and said NO. If it was a blue metalic I probably whould have taken it, but that green fade it has is UGLY. Well that is just my opinion.

It's been discussed before that this color does some funny things with angled vs. curved metal. I'm hoping to see it on a Colorado (or even a Camaro) in person before passing that kind of judgment.

I saw the ABM in person on a 2009 Canyon and a 2009 Colorado right beside it. I went beck to see them in later evening light also. My opinion,,,gorgeous on the trucks, I could not discern any green hues! I find it hard to believe that different batches of the paint can come out so different but it is abvious there is something wrong somehow!

I am sticking with ABM!

[djm96z28]

I've seen ABM on the HHR, and it was just too cartoonish/Smurf-like for my taste. It bordered on gaudy to me.

that is probably the best picture of the color ive seen, so pure and bright. I like it. Just add white stripes, and that thing would be my ideal
