Imperial Blue or Red Jewel ? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My Trailblazer SS is Red Jewel and I love it, but for the Camaro I would pick IBM with silver stripes and gray interior.

If you're really torn, I'd see them in person. I didn't think Cyber Grey Metallic would look good until I saw one up close...it's still not my favorite, but it's much sharper than I thought it would be.

Between your two choices, I have a hard time deciding as well. I'd go for the blue by default as blue is my favorite color, but red stands out more and seems bolder. Camaros should look bold. My taste would've dictated a big fight between black, ABM, and yellow if it'd been me though, so I don't feel strongly enough to offer more than that.

RJT! I've had more women compliment my car saying it's "really HOT"! Great chick magnet! Only problem is my wife is usually with me when that happens, ugh!!!

ALLT4 · 11-29-2009, 05:25 PM

I agree, RJT looks more "grown up" that's why I chose it. My last car was a C4 with Torch Red paint. Too "mid life" looking for me, so this car I went with something more classy than performance looking. Not taking away anything from the other colors it's what YOU want and no one else.

I am almost 100% I am doing the RJT. I wonder if I didn't opt out of the $500 savings for the no 60 day return if I could actually return the car if I didn't like the color. Thanks for all the input. Camaro5 users ROCK!

In the sun, it looks like 'Candy Apple Red'.......

Its just a matter of your own preferance, and those were the colors I was debating on until I saw an RJT alongside of an IBM the day I put in my purchase order. For me it was the RJT without hesitation, and I haven't regretted it one bit.

Legend17 · 11-30-2009, 02:46 AM

i will always say ABM was the best. dont get IBM w/out silver stripes or it looks frickin DULL. blak stripes are even worse. RJT and CGM after seeing in person..HOLY MOLY lol. i've always been victory red fan but i want RJT now. though CGM is very tempting. RJT gives it a real classy touch too. of course this is all my own opinion. i doubt anyone that says IBM is actually a owner of another color. I believe most ppl will vouch that RJT beats it hands down!!!

Edrock · 11-30-2009, 07:01 AM

This video is what sold me on IBM. Enjoy.

I tossed same way. I like the Red Jewel too.
Both colors are awesome, you won't be disappointed either way.
I like your taste in colors !

Pazzo69 · 11-30-2009, 12:41 PM

I normally prefer dark colors for my cars, mine is black, but I saw an RJT recently and I havw to say the car was amazing looking. If I had seen this color prior to buying mine I might have switched to it. I would definetly say go with the RJT.

Badger · 11-30-2009, 01:11 PM

Either or..........both look great with silver stripes

Jules72 · 11-30-2009, 05:05 PM

We took a chance and ordered RJT w/ black rally stripes without seeing the actual color first. On delivery, we were very happy with our choice. Beautiful in the sun and it changes colors depending on the lighting. And...haven't seen another one like it yet which is what we like! But...like the blue too. Maroon seems to be our color choice on our older cars - we like it a lot and never tire of it. Good luck!!
