Yep! There's been other threads about these particular colors. These Transams are blue green chameleon and there's also a lighter green on Transams which is called bright green metallic. Camaros are mystic teal! Do some research on it

I have a BGC 1998 T/A as well. It is paint code 79U on the door.
On another note there was only 1 Blackbird Edition T/A ever made in that color and it was the only Blackbird that didn't start life as a WS6 car as I understand it because no WS6 car was ever made in that color. GMMG had to paint a WS6 hood to match the car. The sad news about that car was that it was resold at Carl Black in Kennesaw GA and from what I heard the last time it was seen it was a ragged out piece of junk.....sad!!!!

I had a 97 in that color and there were a few of the same color around my home town when I had it. Around here in Texas they are fairly common to see.

There's an 01 Formula for sale on Craiglist that BGC that looks really nice. Couldn't be that many Formulas in 01 that color considering the low number of T/A's.

I bought a 2001 Trans Am new off the lot on Sept. 2001. It was Mystic Teal Metallic and that IS what the window sticker said.

Fairly rare color for both the birds and the Camaros. Which sucks, in a sense, because I really like the color. My 98 V6 is that color, but I'm not keeping it long term (too much underbody rust to do with it what I want to do) so finding another MTM Camaro next year, rust free, in Ohio, is going to be fun. Sigh.

Just another note on the color.
I had the dealer do a search for a ram air car of this color. The one I was looking at and in the end bought, was not a WS6 car. He did a two day search and then found out the color was not available with the WS6 option, so he told me. I have not seen a ram air car of this color in all the years I've owned mine. I did get a ram air hood and air box and changed mine over. I rebuilt the suspension to better than the factory WS6. I was told only 650 flat hood T/As were built this color? Maybe this is known by someone on the forum.

I dunno about that. Brangeta has done some research and the numbers of F-Bodies built between 1995-2001 in this color are recorded as 14,871. Maybe 650 for your specific year?
