ok so i go to the chevy dealership and i look at ABM all psyched "ooh this is going to be a bright blue color" i get in to the showroom and i see the ABM camaro and to me it looks like the jacksonville jaguar or miami dolphins teal and im thinking this isn't blue this is green but i looooove the color maybe the color i will order next november, but my question is, does it look like that all the time or does it look like the bright bluish. Does the colori do the iom thing red/orange in sunlight/shade will it be blue/teal sunlight-shade i am so confused lol and the ibm is navy/black... man i love the color schemes its like having 2 colors at 1 time and i saw an RJT today as well and that color is amazing its like a crimson in the repair shop.

First of all, you have to see the ABM on the car in the daylight, a paint chip just won't do it justice. Second, on other cars or trucks , the ABM looks different. Tom me, it's an intense blue, not too dark or light. Not like the IOM, on a cloudy day. Everyone who sees my Camaro, LOVES the color! But, Just MHO!

yeah but what i am saying is that it was the abm camaro so it was the right car it was just in a showroom and i dont know if the lighting made the teal color accurate or not but i looked at the pictures that i saw on my camera and they are like the ones on here.

When its clean and in the sun its a nice blue that your looking for. In the shade its a aqua/teal/greenish color.

I love the color.

thejoker1232 · 09-19-2009, 11:03 PM

thanks for clarifying everything you guys.

omg this is so hard of a choice i ruled out every color except 3

ABM
RY,and
IOM......... but my favorite color is blue hmm hardest choice ever

scythezo6 · 09-19-2009, 11:07 PM

I feel your pain. Not only do you have to choose a great color (they're all great, but what you prefer), but matching stripes and rims if you go that route. RY and IOM are beautiful colors as well. IOM looks fantastic if you live somewhere sunny.

It all depends on the lighting (or shade) and even the sky or background color at the time. It looks different in each type of lighting because it reflects the colors of the background. Pictures don't do it justice. I wouldn't call it teal though. The only way to decide is to see it in person and then decide.

Here's a shot showing the different hues.

The color on my Camaro is what draw people to it. The first words out of their mouths is "I love the color". And everybody says it, even at red lights. Everybody says it that looks at the car. Everybody! Not some or most, EVERYBODY!
