Obviously blue sports cars sell because I see blue Challengers and Mustangs all the time. The key is getting the RIGHT blue.
No one ever said blue Camaros aren't nice looking and people won't buy them. But it never sold well on the Camaro and thus went away.

Also, and I'm not sure of the linkage, if Oshawa is using the same paint shop to paint other cars, then you also have to consider the plant, not just one model.

But the numbers I recall never showed either blue being a big seller.

I can absolutely assure you GM does not eliminate colors without a lot of thought.
