I truly cannot decide on a color...how did you do it?

I'm kind of amazed at how some of you chose colors, lol.

My order should be getting placed very soon, and I have no idea as to which color I'd like to order.

I love every color on this car, aside from yellow (I just don't like yellow cars).

I went from wanting Inferno Orange, to Black, to Summit White, now I sort of like the Aqua Blue but I'm starting to 2nd guess myself. A couple of people said the ABM looked "cheesy" and now I'm starting to think that as well.

Oh lord, what will I do....

Favorite color is blue, always wanted a blue Camaro, and the IBM just does it for me. Easy choice. That said, I will say CGM is one amazing color!

I chose orange because I loved the vert. Orange is one of those colors that always looks good...and has a bit of "history" with muscle cars.

I will say that I was a bit "iffy" with the IOM because it never photographed "orange" it always seemed like a bright red.

I've recently been flipping back and forth between the IOM and RJT but after seeing this last batch of photos...IOM wins hands down. I am not second-guessing which color stripes to put on it...CGM was my original choice but after seeing the white...I think I may switch.

Good luck with your choice!

I was leaning towards black the whole time. But when I saw the video of the Black RS at the Texas State Fair, that sealed the deal

Every person haves his own favorite color just think of that first then check it out on the car if it fits the car perfectly then there you go if not just pick your favorite on the car and compare all to get one

When my Bride and I went to our local dealer, we were set on ordering a Red Jewel Tintcoat Camaro.

As we were sitting there, the dealer had a Malibu in that color sitting on the showroom floor. We looked at each other, looked at the car and changed our order.

It was actually an impulse raeaction to the aesthetic side of the car.

We (without much conversation) decided on ordering Black instead.

It was rather humous to both of us, as it hit us both at the same time. We felt the Red Jewel, looked better on a family sedan, not a Smokin hot Muscle Car!

I am in no way dissing those who ordered Red Jewel Tintcoat. It was just our own personal take on the situation.

I like my Solstice GXP in Brazen, so why not also have a 2SS/RS in IOM (same color)!

I wanted a color that popped. So the plain colors were out ie silver grey black etc. Out of the final ones left VR , yellow, IOM , RJT and ABM I narrowed it to RJT AND IOM. for me IOM wins because the depth of color it has it's almost chameleon like. It has more pop and charector than the rest and changes with the lighting.

For me, it was ABM for a long while. Hadn't seen a good rendition of many of the colors and I always liked the old 69 White on blue combo. But, once I saw the high quality pics of the RJT color, I began to reconsider. Couple that with the cyber gray stripes being much darker and closer to black, I decided that was the combination I would choose.

Note that I'm also going to forgo the hood stripes on the Hockey package in favor of a custom rear vinyl decal that mimics the blackout on the SEMA LS7 concept. I'm also going to remove the rear emblem and do a custom RJT and CGM repaint on it by my lonesome. SS emblems will also get a similar treatment and the Heritage grille will go on around the same time.

Brushed aluminum/painted aluminum stock rims will round out the car. Nothing too flashy, just some little things here and there.

Victory Red of course (since you don't like yellow and since vette is pulling vic red it's value goes up).

Probably reading your original post you should go with the Blue maybe.
It's nice an middle of the road for boasting a look but blending in with the crowd.

Yeah, right now, my current car is very similar to the IBM blue on the Camaro. I still love blue, but I wanted a different blue so maybe I will go with the ABM. Just not sure, I really wanna see it in person, but there are none near me as far as I know. :(
