Looking at the history of Purple, I'd say that the demand is negligible at best. It will be interesting to see how it performs on the Challenger.

Question:

If you were picking colors - would you pick a Dark Green - a medium blue -- or purple? (and you only get one choice.....)

I was disappointed with ABM. I liked the blue but the green flip flop killed it for me. No disrespect to all who love, and bought ABM. Color preference is one of those things that is hit or miss, and Camaro lovers have a lot of choices. White and Black are "can't miss" colors.
Didn't I read that there will be a new blue for 2011? I hope so.

Before you start lauding the wonderment of the B5 Blue on the Challenger - go look at one in person. In my opinion, Chrysler missed the boat. The code is the same as the "old" one; but, the color really isn't. Too much black in the pigment mix and too muddy. I'm more than pleased that I went with the Camaro and love my "white unicorn''...although the white is starting to show up a bit more frequently.

Plum crazy is a mopar only colors and it should remain that way. If they want an old school color that is gm then go with dark green or hugger orange. I have no comment on the B5 blue other than the fact that gm already axed one light blue from the line up due to sales.

I took a good look at the B5 Blue of a Challenger R/T Classic a few weeks ago. It is drop dead gorgeous...if I could have swung it, that car would be in the garage next to our RJT 2SS right now.

It is simply a stunning car.

Dark green reminds me of my grandfathers cars, blue with dark blue hockey sticks.

Call me kooky but I just loved the Mystic Teal Metallic that was on the '99 Camaros. That was my first color choice before the Navy Blue Metallic that I ended up getting. Couldn't find a teal one anywhere.

Dark Green.

But honestly, if there was ever any one must have color, to me it would be Sunrise Yellow. I HATE Yellow and yet I love that color on the BB car.

I'm thinking a nice Scottish Tartan.

Saw the B5 Blue. AWESOME color. My dad already said if it was on the camaro he would have ordered that.

caverman · 12-14-2009, 01:56 PM

I would have to throw in my vote for a medium blue. Something similar to the Lemans Blue on the Corvette a couple years ago. That color with white stripes would be a classic color combo to me.
