I made my purchase choice based on options, availability, and price. I had no preference in color beyond NO SILVER/GRAY. My husband's last two cars were silver and gunmetal gray. Mine were green and blue. I need color in my life.

Can't get more colorful than IOM.

(though shhhhhh I actually like the CGM)

I like the white with orange stripes because it reminded me of the 1969 pace cars that were that color and ever since I was a little kid I loved that car and color combo....plus you don't see a ton of them. Also have the IO interior because the stock colors just seem dull to me I like it bright!

AGM. The only downside is figuring out what color stripes to go with

Fell in love with the CGM first time I saw it. Traded my Victory Red as soon as I got a deal worked out. Although my first choice would have been ABM. If I had gotten that I would still have it for sure.

Because you can't beat imperial blue in the sunlight. and I always said when I bought a new Camaro it would be blue.

And actually, Leonardo, there are three blues now..

My first camaro was 1979 (2nd Gen) Blue rally sport, loved the car, then my wife and I bought a red camaro in 2002. I wanted another one and just knew I wanted a red one. Bought a 2011 2LT/RS Victory Red Camaro but had paint issues, then GM allowed me to order a 2013 and when I seen the Crystal Red Metallic Paint I just knew, I've had the new one about 2 months and 'Love' the 'Red'

I traded my black 1LT for a silver 1SS. I got tired of washing and wiping it down all the time. I love black when it's super clean... hate it when it isn't. Silver gives me more time between washings.
