Blue is by far my favorite color too. And mine happens to to be the new blue ray metallic which I love in the sunlight, but it loses all of its character in the dark. Even cloudy days people have assumed it's black. A couple shades lighter on the next gen would be an awesome addition.

I agree. Blue Ray looks good in the sun but black at night.

Navy Blue Metallic needs to come back.

the problem with this, is that a good number of those cars were not "ordered" by the owners, but rather ordered by the dealership to sit on the lot and be bought. I would like to see what the difference in colors is between owners orders and dealer orders.

And I would prefer the same Lazer Blue Metallic that was on my parents 2001 Equinox. The color had a bit of a flop to it and you could also see a "pearl" to it under the right light.

I see blue cars all over the place in SoCal. Cheap Hondas, Toyotas, Scion, Kia, etc. Tons of Toyota Speedway blue trucks around too.

the question is why do these cheap imports sell tons of blue cars, but the Camaro cant? Even the beautiful JSB corvette sold only a few ones...
so with so many 'imports' cars on the road here, I take it that its not just a local thing?

So, tons of import blue cars, but hardly any American built? Maybe its a lack of America interest?

Even so, If the 6th gen is good looking, and better looking than the 2016 mustang, even if they don't make blue, I will just go out and have mine painted JSB again....
Heck, I lose a full month, while its being painted, and lose 4 grand, ( not counting a rented car for that time...)
but in the end, if GM wont give us blue, then we must take the steps ourselves.

Bhobbs 06-29-2014 08:13 PM

The blue I saw on the ATS coupe is almost exactly the blue I want. It's a good looking color and since they are going to be built in the same plant, we might get that color on the 6th gen.

Not sure. It's definitely not from the factory. I believe the race team that built the car had it done. It might even be a wrap.

My first Camaro was a 1970 1/2 Mulsanne Blue, almost the same as 1969 LeManns Blue.
REMEMBER how we had to lobby GM to have the Aqua Blue available on the SS for 2010, was to be only on V6 model, so with all the preorders noone ordered starting in October, I waited until after Thankgiving when GM allowed the SS to be Aqua Blue.
ATTENTION Fbodfather and GM, Marketing is wrong about BLUE, if you don't offer it how can we buy it to show you?
I will keep my 2010, will buy a 2016+ when they are available in similar color, or might get a C7, the Aqua Blue could have been lighter, like Mulsanne Blue, but at least get a color out that's close.

Has anyone noticed that Chevrolet's color is BLUE !!!!!!!! entire entry element at updated dealerships.

papawattz 07-22-2014 05:07 PM

I love this truck! Find it on you tube, fricken' awesome:headbang:

Never ever heard "thats a nice color black" (or red , white , silver )
But I get numerous compliments on the blue's.

This is true!

I've had 1 red car and 1 black car.

I've gotten a lot of compliments on my blue car now and I've only had it for almost a year. :thumbup:

In all honesty, it probably won't matter if they offer a blue, it is going to be crappy paint. I just don't understand spending this money on a car that the owners take really good care of having such crappy paint.

Mike C 08-06-2014 06:23 AM

Put me down for a YES! We need a Medium Blue color.

The C7 blue is fantastic. Would love to see a blue similar to that on the new Camaro.

The answer to this is simple really. Offer a true medium blue again and the blue fans will buy. Scott tried to say how aqua blue on the 5th gen was a medium blue, when in fact it looked medium blue in "some" light. It mostly looked green or greenish. As a huge fan of medium blues, I dont want that. Thats been GM's problem with the Blue shades, its rarely pure blue. It always seems to be a blue that looks to green or to purple. They have these amazing blues like jetstream, electron, lemans, arrival, laguna and opulant and always give the Camaro the shaft. Bright blue metallic(same as nassau blue from the c5 Vette) from 99 was the last proper medium blue offered, and it was doomed from the start. The color samples from the brochure swatches did not represent the color AT ALL, GM took no real pictures of it to show what it looked like and the dealers never ordered it. So as you guessed it, it barely sold.

I thought they were going to redeem with Kinetic Blue, but hey, of course you can only get that with the full on Hot Wheels edition.

The one good thing here, I do thing the new Camaro will get opulant blue as the CTS and ATS have it. Its imo a pretty sweet color. Not as perfect as laguna from the c7, but sweet non the less.

My phone is too slow for me to browse this whole thread but i say YES to a medium blue. My list of medium blues that i think look awesome
-1999 fbody medium blue metallic
Subaru wrx rally blue
2005 toyota tacoma speedway blue

I cant stand that the whole "new generation" of cars come in mostly drab depressing colors, white, grays, silvers, black.

Only available for the 2010 model year.

The last cars of this color were built at the end of December 2009.

It was never really given a chance.

Scarrzz 11-14-2014 02:49 PM

I can imagine this color on a Camaro and in the sunshine.

What say you guys?

Bumping this thread in hopes the 2016 Camaro offers a nice Blue, It may sound silly to some, but color WILL be a factor on whether I replace my perfectly fine (closer to being paid off) 2010 with a new 2016. GM needs to step up its game with some bright youthful and exciting colors. That is all.
