Colors in real life

donaldp · 01-12-2017, 02:26 AM

I've seen all available colors on Non-ZL1 Camaros but have not seen any ZL1's in the flesh yet. I know color is subjective so no need to remind me.

Which colors have impressed you as looking better in real life than the photos on ZL1's and which colors have not looked as good in real life on the ZL1's?

The Garnet Red Tintcoat is my favorite. Especially on a clear sunny day.

I was set on getting the Garnet Red until I looked at a dealer that had 2 Hyper Blue and Garnet Reds side by side. One pair was under the canopy in the shade and the other out in the sunlight. I actually liked all the metallic with its different shades better on the blue. The Garnet has the metallic too, but it is more subtle. I still love the Garnet, just an absolute beautiful shade of red that goes great with the black and gray accents. I ultimately went with the blue. My wife had been saying she liked it better from the start, partly because we've never had a blue car. I had been saying Garnet. I saw the dealer with those colors side by side and had to admit I liked the blue a tad better. Still haven't seen a ZL1 in person, just going off the colors on Camaros I've seen in person. I also like the Nightfall Gray. That would probably be my third choice. Silver would be pretty high too, but I've had a silver truck for a few years now, so wanted to change it up.

seeing a hyper blue metallic really sealed the deal, i had been bouncing back an forth between it and red hot.

I love red hot, but currently have a red '13.... can't decide between hyper Blue , mosaic black, or another red. I have seen both red and blue in person, but it hasn't made the choice any easier. Mosaic black looks sinister and the metallic finish may help hide some of the paint issues you can run into with true black. Anyone chime in on how MBM is to clean and care for???

White is Krazy Sexy. Seen one last summer. Awsome.
Artic Blue is Lame in person.
I think the Yellow will be Killer in person.

I ordered the Hyper Blue

I too was all over doing white again until I saw the hyper blue metallic in person. That color just pops in the sun. So I'm getting blue, MLEE is getting white and we will just have to find someone with a red to do a photo shoot.

I am with you bro! But those red seatbelts in the Summit White just look so damn good. I actually have 2 cars on order, a blue and a white and whichever one comes through first is the one I'm getting. Such a tough call. I love those red seatbelts though.

Yea I wish they would have other colors too. Like the one that someone put a blue filter on the whole car.

Jarhead, I think I saw you driving the ZL1 on New Year's Day. Had the windows down and the sunroof open cruising east on SR 64!! Hahaha. And I'd have to agree, the garnet red looked very good. Although I'm not a huge fan of the color on any other of the trim levels.

Nightfall Gray all shined up looks killer. I get a lot of compliments from strangers on the color. 'Course, the silver stripes really set it off.
