Awesome

What a wonderful blue. I say make it part of a special edition. Now I'm torn between the Dusk Blue with the Mojave leather seats and this blue. Scrap that green Hot Wheels concept, use this color instead, and you have a winner!

It looks very similar to a color used on 2005 Impalas called "Laser Blue Metallic" at least in the pictures. Being a pace car though probably means the color means nothing. In 2001 the Monte Carlo that paced the brickyard 400 was Smoooth Yellow (a B-E-A-Utiful metallic flake yellow paint) from Dupont as were several of the pace cars for the 2002 season in NASCAR. The 2002 "Pace Car Edition" that was released was released in "Competition Yellow" a color that was no where near the actual pace car color.

Looks like NO BLUE'S will be available for Camaro at all now. I just heard about this today. But apparently it was announced back in Dec '11...

Old news. Blue Ray Metallic is available for 2013 though it is on constraint right now. Rumor is availability starts in August when the other constraints are lifted.

On TV it looks great! The rear has flat black paint around the (amber) tail lights.

Afraid that's old news, the new blue coming in August will be Night Race Blue Metallic or Blue Race Metallic , it's a shade or two deeper than IBM IMO, some say it has more grey in it.

I realize that, just didn't know how else to describe it. It just shows a lot in this color.

I love this color. If GM offers it on the ZL1, I'll be trading in my SS and upgrading.

That's how it usually photographs. I never seen the green hue in any of the pictures I have taken. Photos never do this color justice, same with IOM it always looks red in photos... weird.
