Yeah, maybe it could just be the picture a little bit, but I just can't see completely how one could think for the longest time that it is SOM in color....

They are both very close.

SOM is a brighter orange where ROM is darker. They both look great when shined up.

Yes, Sunset Orange is the best looking color for these cars by far IMO

I agree that SOM is the best looking color also but Red-Orange Metallic (pontiac), and Cayenne Red Metallic (camaro) comes in at a close second IMO they all are great looking colors I would love to have either color great looking T/A SOMBitch

Nope, definitely not just you. SOM isn't really all that great, IMO. It's not even in my top 5 favorites.

Cayenne Red is a nicer color, IMO.

i agree, SOM is being played out too much and praised more than what its worth. my favorite colors for these cars is hugger orange and MBM (99 color) then sport gold metallic on an SS

Thanks BlueTA!!

Thanks for the info LS1W66 SWEET!!

WS6RS when you see them side by side like that you can easily see it is a different color but it is still not too far off SOM. Just a darker hue is how I would describe it.....

Anyway glad I am straight about this now!

I like the cayenne red as well, but too bad you could get a WS6 in that color.

I love the Cayenne Red Metallic color...my 96 2 Door Cutlass Supreme was that color.

I really like the SOM but the Cayenne Red Metallic is a very unique and under rated color.
