Used the eyedropper tool in photoshop to grab the values from the site, I do agree with you though, some of the colors look pretty good but others don’t match real life.

I’m thinking of trying the brochures they release for each model year (page 13): https://cdn.dealereprocess.org/cdn/b...017-camaro.pdf

Just need to figure out where the closest match to real life is on those car pictures and then I can use the same spot for all the colors

There’s also this site that might be promising, I believe I used it in the past but it’s been updated since as I don’t recognize the layouts now: https://hdpaintcode.com/gm-2022/
Yeah, those brochure colors feel closer to real life, even if the paintref rendering is more "official" (their hyper blue is also severely lacking, just look at that bland swath of medium blue).

There is a garnet red SS on page 7 of the brochure, that's even more like it, but of course it has light and dark areas and some photoshopping going on, so taking colors from page 13 is probably more fair.
