Hardly any changes for 2017, except new Arctic Blue color

Just saw the 2017 order guide and besides the 50th Anniversary package the only changes are orange painted front calipers available with the 6 pistons and teen driver mode is now standard on all Camaros. So essentially it goes into 2017 unchanged.

Blue Velvet is gone. Replaced with "Arctic Blue", a light-colored...icey-blue.

I like that color. A bit more interesting than grey, but not too showy.

There are currently no cars in GM's lineup that have a paint color called "arctic blue," so it's hard to pull a direct example. However, I did some research and found this could be a reference to a few old paint colors GM used to offer.

There were actually three "arctic blues" — a light shade similar to the one in the ZL1 promo pics, a mid tone, and slightly darker shade. Here's a picture of a ElDorado with the lighter paint and a Corvette with the darker paint.

There are no pictures of the mid-tone "arctic blue" which is somewhere in-between those.

Here is a page showing every color GM has ever marketed as "arctic blue" so you can see the differences more closely side by side.

So therefore, it would appear that there's a high probability that those promo photos of the ZL1 convertible were indeed intended to show what will likely be "arctic blue" for 2017.
