Default looking for a color

well i know for sure it was on a 93 camaro cause had one, but the color could have been for the 93-97 bodystyle.

the one i had was just a bare bones 3.4. i always thought it was a sort of blue grey color i was later informed it was a green color. the car was not teal nor polo green. i would really love to have another one that color the only trouble is i dont know the name of the color and i have searched here and just looked at for sale ads for a while now, so i figured i would just ask here and someone might know what color im talking about

No, its more blue than that. The 95-96 green on Impalas was never used ona 4th gen.

I know the color you're talking about it was only on 93s. I "think" it was called steel blue or something damn close. My guess is to find someone who has a 93 sales brochure, gotta be one on eBay.

Are you sure about that? The color I' m thinking of, used on the 93-97 model cars, looks DAMN close to the Green-gray Metallic on the Impys.

doing some super-fast research, there was a Dark Green-Grey Metallic in 1993 as well. 4350 total were produced.

see if this works...

Absolutely, find a body shop or paint store that uses PPG paint, and they can tell you. Dupont dealers/users could probably tell you too, but for certain colors Dupont doesn' t duplicate the name, for whatever reason. For instance for a 96 Corvette, PPG Admiral Blue, is Dupont Dark Cloisonné Metallic.

I had a 1994 Camaro that was Purple Pearl Metallic so it was not a 93 only color.

I suspect the color you're looking for is called Dark Green Gray Metallic. I found this thread that has photos of all the 4th generation Camaro colors... it's the first photo in the second post. https://www.camaroz28.com/forums/sho...ainbow-693434/
