I realize that these little internet swatches are probably not accurate, but overall I would be extremely disappointed if these were the final color choices, most of them IMHO look rather "blah". Perhaps if seen in person on a life size car they will look better.

I wouldnt count on it . The Last time they tried to offer it in 99 , hardly anyone purchased this color . Your best bet is probably gonna be Solstice Brazen Orange ...because it already a color available .

I've had three GM vehicles with non-metallic reds in the last twenty years, they just keep on looking good even after several years and 200,000 plus miles each, a quick coat of wax and they look like new!

I'm kinda new to the enthusiast realm, but I love the 2010 Camaro and am definately going to get it as soon as I can. However, I want to make sure that I get exactly the right color for me. Can you guys give me any insight as to the best colors to see the body's details, the best stripe to body color combos, and others issues that come with particular colors (like I've heard black is really hard to keep clean, even though it looks amazing, my white mustang is pretty hard to keep clean, too). Thanks for any help.

We have a Nassau blue 00 vette & I want my Camaro vert to be the same color or close to it.

I like this Blue too...

2008 Equinox Navy Blue Metallic.

I'm kinda partial to Blue's, since my '90 IROC is Med.Quasar Blue Metallic.

I just don't see any way to get a realistic impression of a color from a computer rendering of a swatch.

Before anyone gets onto a hate wagon, you have to see the color on a complete car first. I've seen some rather awful swatches that look terrific when sprayed onto a car, including my own '84 that sports "Midnight sand-grey metallic", a fancy grey with a little bit of brown in the mix. The swatch looks about as interesting as dirt.

Same thing with Jamaica Yellow, as found on the third-gen 1992 and fourth-gen 1993 F-body. That particular color cannot even be photographed, in my opinion. However it looks great in person. You really have to see them live to make a true judgement call. Second-best might be a quality video rendering, followed by high-res professional photography. I dont think we can make judgements via computer screen because all of us have different monitor styles by different manufacturers, and they all tint the displayed colors differently.

I'm looking forward to seeing how these colors look on the Camaro, especially the yellow & black combination.

True, I looked at this at work and Black, Ink Slate, and Mocha Bronze all looked the same to me until I came home and looked at them on my laptop.

Nope. JSB is nothing like LB with the exception that it is a shade of blue. The two colors side by side are night and day difference. In fact JSB actually has a color shift with light whereas LB is a nice deep dark blue.
