Does anyone know first hand if Red Rock looks a little more "burnt orange" than what comes across in the photos that we've seen so far? A true burnt orange/black wheel and trim 1LE would be out of this world IMO.

I agree that the Mustang has some brighter color options. But overall I think Camaro has a strong palette and its very interesting when people talk about the "greatness" of ABM yet it was the worst selling color?

The unfortunate reality is that the Camaro is not produced in a Camaro-only factory. Therefore it has to share many colors with non-Camaro vehicles and Laguna Blue might look a little odd on an Equinox or Buick Regal.

Chevrolet clearly understands the importance of color with offering what they can, when they can. Synergy Green, Kinetic Blue on the Hot Wheels, etc but there are limits to what can be done. The best thing to do is for us to keep communicating (or buying) the colors we like and discussing those we don't. Personally I love the Laguna Blue tintcoat and the Lime Rock Green on the Stingray. Thanks for those pics

I was next to a ruby red mustang yesterday and as much as I love my CRT, the RR is nice and really pops in the sun.

I agree. Imagine a zl1 in the lime green that you on the Boss' or the baby blue. Would be NASTY sweet color combo with the black accents. Not the metallic blue. The normal baby blue. And the ford gunmetal looks better than ashen grey

But white, VR, and IOM fords counterparts don't even come close we have em all the way.

Yes, gotta have it green looks much better close up in person than in pics.

I disagree. I like the IOM paint on my '13 ZL1 way better than the hugger orange on the '70-1/2 Z/28 I had years ago.
And I like the deep impact blue metallic on my wife's '13 Mustang GT better than any of the gen5 Camaro blues.

Our green compared to the mustang green seems more like puke green to me. However, I like bright colors so the Inferno Orange was the only color that fit me for Camaro. I wish the Hot Wheels Blue wasn't exclusive. I'd hit that up all day long!

that's because your mustang color stands out. bright green with orange stripes never seen that combo on a car . So it will always attract more. The color stands out in traffic

Sorry, but I prefer real Hugger Orange to IOM... it may not have metallic in it, but it's definitely got more pop.

Sorry, but, to me, you could paint the 5th Gen Camaro Sh$t brown, and it would still look better than any colour of Mustang. No comparison in style. Just my opinion though....
