Anyone have a photo of an inferno orange metallic Camaro next to a red one?

I'm looking to buy a 2013 Camaro and was pretty set on yellow, but my options are limited right now. I've seen a few inferno orange ones for sale that may work, but over 50% of all the sports cars I've ever owned have been red, and I'm getting a bit sick of it :P. Many of the photos I've seen on sale postings make the orange look very similar to a red, but I'm sure the dealers aren't color correcting before uploading.

The closest inferno orange metallic 2013/2014 Camaro for sale is 150 miles away from me, so I was hoping someone could share a photo of an orange one next to a red one so I could get a better feel for what the orange color is actually like, and if it will really be different enough from red for me to be happy. I would also welcome descriptions of the color, including the intensity of its metallic quality.

Thanks.

The problem with IOM is that it is impossibly hard to photograph. In the sun, it's amazing. The flake, the color, the brightness of it.

In the dark, it just looks like a deep red. It's really a gorgeous color.

It was discontinued in 2013, so if you are finding a 2014 in IOM... it's wrong.

I have a few of my IOM next to my 68 which is red... does that help? Check my sig.

IOM is very hard to look orange in photos. It looks red in pictures no doubt about but in person it is orange for sure.

There is a recent thread on here with all the Gen 5 fliers. It has about the best depiction of the different colors. Here is the 2013 one it is on page 19 of 28. I'm with you, when i bought mine the only requirement was no Black, White or Red which are the three most popular colors. Ironically I have owned vehicles in each of those three color but never again will I.

Thank you all; very helpful. Especially that flier, for reasons beyond just color.

Am I reading the flier correctly that there was an option for interior/leather accents in orange cars, but not for yellow?

Yellow exterior had just black or gray for interior color.

While Orange leather interior was available in exterior colors of : black red, orange, gray, silver, and white.

IOM is one sweet color. Probably my 3rd favorite.

Pictures don’t do it justice.

You just got to have a decent camera to get the orange to come out even when there is little light out.

Thanks everyone, especially CamaroDreams76 and 91Zman for the photos. A local owner has graciously offered to meet up with me tomorrow so I can see the color in person.

I found this photo online; is this IOM? I really like the look, especially with the black accents. But it looks far lighter than other photos I've seen.

That is an IOM yes.

It's edited in post, looks like they bumped the saturation and vibrance up, but it is closer to what it looks like in person.
