I was thinking Glacier Blue myself. Its a nice color. Elite, are you sure the car is supposed to have a vinyl top? Some cars were painted that way from the factory.
The previous owner called the paint on my car fathom blue. I have yet to see a car that is painted this color so I don't have anything to compare it to.
I did see a really nice Yenko clone across the street at the baseball fields once and it looked really close in color but I never saw the owner so that wasn't much help to me.

Painted cars had the trim just as if is had a vinyl top, not as common from what I'm aware of. The paint code might tell if its two tone. 53 is glacier blue/50 dover white. I copied this from camaros.org.

Jenn bought a Canon EOS, rebel XTi. I think its 10 megs. I like it. Your car still looks orange in pictures you know.
Guys, thanks for the compliments and opinions. I don't mind neg opinions, if I did, I wouldn't post up pictures.

Camera seems to take good pics. I was looking for one for our trip this summer (going back to the Fatherland), but decided to just use my old 35mm and use the $ I'd spend for another camera on my car instead.
My car looks orange because its an orange wannabe.
