I hate that purple color but there are some purples I do like, such as Mopar's Plum Crazy.

And like others, I would much rather see an Orange for the Camaro, preferably this Hugger Orange.

If they do purple, it should be a royal purple type color, kind of an equivalent to the way the blue is done on Hyper blue.

No. Please. Just no. Its an ugly depressing color. To me, the corvette is the car for the older folks, and that purple is an old folks color. lets keep it that way.

The Camaro could use a nice vibrant orange instead. but that's just my opinon.

That being said, if GM decided to make that color available on the Camaro, then so be it. I don't expect many potential buyers will pick them up from the lot in that fugly purple, but if some really want it, then why not make it an optional color to order? I don't expect it to sell much tho.

omg, I just imagined a Camaro with that color and Kalahari interior..

No and I usually like the more unliked colors. It just feels old. Way too dark as well.

+1

It would be the same as what happened to the mid and late 90's Impala SS. Black sold like hotcakes, the black cherry (IDK the official name of the color) barely moved. That was a mature persons car and the color sold poorly.

They used to have a Purple Metallic on 4th gen Firebirds that was pretty.
It is the only purple I have ever really liked.

As a previous owner of two "purple" cars, I must say you can't judge by photos. The best looking car I've owned (around 10-12 cars in 30+ years) was a 2005 limited edition Black Cherry Mazda RX8. It blows any other color car I've had. I also had for a very brief time a Crimson Black Altima coupe. It looked great on that car as well, but the Mazda was slightly less black. There's no true purple cars out there besides Dodge. These cars tend to have a very deep look to them. If you like white or silver as your first choice, then this is not going to be something for you. Of the Camaro colors now, I like the Hyper Blue for its "relative" scarcity (despite the amount of owners on this forum), but I surprisingly found the Mosaic Black to be tied because up close it gives off different hues. That is what the Black Cherry color did. In short, I vote hell yeah to this Black Rose Metallic. BTW, if you look at the Corvette's Long Beach Red Metallic, you'd see that it's not too far off from the photo posted here. And IMHO, the Vette looks gorgeous in that color.

Edit: I'd should add two things after re-reading the comments. Didn't realize at first you were posting a Vette so yes if that is going to be a color, then yeah! Second, I own an Orange BMW 2-series. I have yet to see one on the road in over two years. Very rare and I'm constantly getting compliments (although I got even more with the Black Cherry Mazda). And I would agree that Orange should be an option for the Camaro. Orange is a funny color to get right though. Some cars it looks incredible. Others, a turn off. Two examples off top of my head. I think the Jag F-type looks great in its Orange. However, the Lexus RC-F, not so much. Should also add that Cadillac had a Black Cherry option for the CTS several years back and that was one car it did NOT look good on. I'm sure there's others.

If I was going to pick a deep, luxurious-ish color on the Camaro...I'd want something like Garnet Red...a deep cherry red...gorgeous. Never really been a fan of purple paint on cars...just me, I guess.
