Paint Color Names...Really???

I think they are trying to be too cute with the names....And to make it worse the spelling is embarrassing....

Doesn't anyone proof-read this stuff??

"Blade Ungrained Low Polish"....????......Does that even mean anything?...Must we guess what it means forever??

Abalony...????....Abalone is correct....Maybe they were trying for "A Baloney" color?...Tricot??? Maybe Tri-Coat???

Switch Balde Silver??? WTF....Even though they are mostly illegal, I think they meant Switch "Blade"...

Lemon Pel???....How about Lemon Peel....sheesh...

"Sun" of a Gun...????...Somebody should get fired....In America, it's "Son" of a Gun...

The catchy-ness is pretty sad....and will wear out soon...

All in all...names, spelling, are pretty pathetic...

Looks like it's just "Black" with 4 numbers after it. But yeah a few misspelled words in that pic

Those of us who like correct spelling or grammar are in the minority. Have you received a text from anyone in their 20's recently? I try to not let it bother me. I know what you're saying though.

True, a miscellaneous text is one thing, but this represents the company and it's "quality" or lack thereof...

5th Gen had, 'pull me over' RED. Naming colors would be a cool job!

Thumbs up

between this and the "alluminum" step plates, GM strikes out in the spell check department ...

hopefully when it comes time to build them, their quality control is a lot tighter than their proof reading ability

on a semi-related note; is this the alternate SS spoiler option shown in some of the other pictures?

None of those colors are what's on the order sheet...but Abolone White Tricoat would 100% be the color I would pick! It's hard to beat a Pearlcoat white and brown(kalahari) interior

Is there anyway that somehow this is a joke? With all these spelling errors, I'm wondering if they're pulling a fast one on us. Are these photos real? Do we have multiple witnesses that were actually there that can confirm all this?
