Is Blue Ray best color for cruising at night?

I say yes! Just stopped for some gas and I was so taken aback at how stunningly beautiful the Blue Ray looks at night under the lights that I had to snap a quick pic to show her off - I haven't even washed her in several weeks and she's still gorgeous!

I think your cell phone cam isn't able to save the color you saw in the low light conditions = few comments. I can't appreciate the color from what my monitor is displaying to me now.

That really sucks. Yeah great topdown weather in O-Town today. I took that pic at about 11:30 at night and I think it was still about 72 - supposed to be sunny and 87 tomorrow.

Yeah it's very difficult to capture the Blue Ray's beauty in photos - it looks like an awesome midnight blue in person. Which reminds me of a great song - I think a Blue Ray Camaro would be the perfect choice for the music vid if they remade it today - although the red GTO they used has a much nicer back seat

Rally Yellow is great on a bright sunny day,
but at midnight nothing can compare to Blue Ray.

I'm a poet!

I really like my Blue Ray. It is difficult to capture in a photo, just how good it looks in various light conditions. It really changes. At dusk or dawn, it looks almost black. In the noon sun, it's navy blue. Under the lights at night it has highlights of silver and bronze.

Yes it's a mysterious color - very hard to pin down. I named my car Suite Madame Blue after the song of the same name which has sort of a mysterious vibe to it.

Yes - Blue Velvet and Blue Ray are practically the same - they both look awesome especially at night

I have an '11 in the "imperial metallic blue" and love it. When I went to buy a camaro, I was set on a black one until I saw that blue.

Looks awesome in the sun and does seem to change and looks black in lower light.
