Ya man nightfall grey is nice too but I think I'm going to try to stay away from dark colors. I learned my lesson with black lol but good taste!

Color choice is very subjective and personal. But there are some ways you can help narrow it down for yourself. How often do you wash (and do you like to wash) your car. Some colors require washing more often than others. Another way to narrow it down, is to see if you have any preference for wheel and/or interior color. Then see which of your colors goes best with that combo. Also, do you want attention? Some colors are better to get and some are better attract attention, and others blend in to the crowd a little more.

For example, I think the Hyper Blue is awesome on the Camaro, but I didn't get it, because it is too "hey look at me" in terms of its flashiness. I'm not really a flashy kind of guy.

Subjectively, to me, the Camaro looks amazing in the Hyper Blue, Garnet Red, and of course Black. I personally am not into white cars. In the end, I went with the Blue Velvet, which is no longer available due, I think, to it not being very popular. So, if you want a popular color, don't listen to me.

I personally love Garnet Red, looks awesome on the 6th gen and is beautiful in the sun. Just my opinion though.

I have the hyper blue and can say that it is a great color. It's definitely easier to keep cleaner than a white car. Which red were you deciding between (red hot or garnet red)?
Before I decided on the hyper blue the red hot was my second choice.

The draw back for the hyper blue is it now is a $395 color option (2017s only) and it seems that hyper blue is a pretty popular color, so you tend to see more of them on the road.

Good luck.

Ya I know it is pretty much based on my opinion and you make some great points that I haven't really thought of. But I just kinda wanted to see what you guys think because I think it's interesting to hear your opinions as well. But yes I will not be buying a dark color vehicle ever again lol. And I do really like hyper blue but I also feel like everyone has that color just like everyone has a green challenger now ECT... But thanks for your input!

I love the hyper blue. But I just had a white Mustang and I gotta say, that car was very easy to keep clean. It did not show the dirt as well as most cars I see.

My red hot red had been driven in the rain a couple days without being washed in this photo. It was filthy. It had road grime all over it.
