Default What color is my Camaro!?

This was my first camaro, back in high school.
She was a v6 but was gorgeous. Looked dark green, but changed into almost black at night, and blueish in parking lot lights. It wasn't a drastic change like those horrid mystic cobra's, but I've never seen anything like it.
Got any ideas? I was thinking maybe some teal, or bermuda blue who knows
95 3.4

ALSO should i paint my new z28 this color. Just bought a black z28 m6 with nitrous and was thinking hey why not remember old times and paint it like the one that took my camaro virginity
first camaro

new z28/ss can anyone photoshop this with the old color?

AFAIK, It was only offered in 94 and 95. My 94 was that color, and I loved it.

IIRC, it was "Metallic Gray Blue".

*PS, people will tell you that it is teal, but it is not teal. that was a totally different color.

I have pictures of every single factory color on this page of my site. Scroll through and you should be able to figure it out. http://sites.google.com/site/branget...olorproduction

It's probably polo green metallic if it was a '95 though that color doesn't change a whole lot. '93-'94 dark green grey metallic changes color a lot and would be much more unique, that's what color your car looks like in that photo, but if it was a '95 that wasn't ever repainted... that's impossible.

i have found the color. found it on a 3rd gen site but i've never seen a good pic of a 4th gen with this color. dark green gray metallic. gorgeous color and i can't wait to see it with an ss hood. i'm so excited to see my new 95 z28 painted that color. it'll be just like the good ole days lol. i wonder if my c6's will still look good after i go from black to green gray metallic.
thanks alot i've been looking for this forever and you guys found it within hours. does anyone know where to find the color code or what to tell my body shop?

lol i did check your site. but i didn't see any good pictures of this color. I did see the color code after i posted and your site is bookmarked. good stuff. i had a patriot red camaro that looked sick with black accents. i'm tired of seeing ugly camaro's or just plain jane red ones.
does any have any good pics of green gray metallic?

94 Impala SS's were only offered in black, 95-96 were offered in 3 colors, Black, Dark Cherry Metallic, and this color, Dark Grey Green Metallic...it's by far my favorite of the 3...there are 2 95's in my driveway with that factory color

You're killing me. The pictures I have on there are the best pictures I've been able to collect in about 8 years of collecting.






If you're looking for pics of modified ones... don't know if I have any. The color is awesome and it'll look great with the SS hood. I'm not sure why you're so worried.

Let me see if I can dig up my scan of my 94's option sheet, the color code is listed on there, and I know it is correct, because I used it to get a can of touch up paint once.
