There are enough cars out there with bland metallic dark blue, metallic dark red, and silver paint jobs. Camaro colors should stand out.
Amen, brother. I don't think that there's been any period in my lifetime when car colors have been more boring than they are right now. Companies like Toyota started the trend by offering a very limited, bland palette, and, sadly, GM has followed suit.

I fully understand that the dealers hate getting stuck with cars in 'unique' colors that are hard to sell, but I'd like to see automakers such as GM put a little more effort in broadening consumer tastes in this regard. Even it means offering certain colors only as 'special order' items, do something to return to the days of offering cars like the Camaro in 15 or more colors.
