I dont think changing the color will reduce the
attention it gets.Its shape it responsible 4 that.
But Blue, medium Gray and that dark green
are possibly the only descret colors..
White and Black are too flashy.

I'd just stick with white, maybe paint your ground effects white as well.
BTW, 1991 Z-28, what rims are on your car? I really like those, are they the 17" ZR1 rims?

I like that platinum my self. That color on some of the new Vettes looks awesome. Also I like the midnight blue metallic. After that, I would go with the polo green metallic.

Diffnently Black.....I'm not saying this because mine is...I'm saying it because it looks soooo aggressive.....and pissed off. It is hard to take care of black....but....I clean my car everyday.....and I enjoy doing it......

I have "pull me over" red and it hasn't failed me yet...
That's why I thought of going to a darker red or maroon, or maybe even black (but I wouldn't be able to keep it clean, bad thing about having a 1/4 mile long gravel drive).

Black. A good black paint job will show reflections of everything. Nothing beats the look/shine of black.

First choice is dark red,such as 1991 Z28's,Kandied's,and mine.Its a really clean looking color,with lots of class,and also look really tough.
Kandied said it best:
But I think that sweet Iroc Blue is really nice.Shows the lines nice and has a good amount of classiness,but still tough looking.
And I personally just think black is overrated.Yeah it looks nice,but for how long?5 minutes.If that.And if you get a deep enough red as I stated above,you can get the same shine as black.Just my own thoughts.
:hail: :hail: :hail: Dark red/Maroon
:hail: :hail: Iroc Blue
:hail: Black
Kandied said it best:
red all the way, nothing shows the lines of the car better.
black is nice, but plain....

Another vote for black if you're committed enough to keeping it clean. Sunset Orange Metallic is sweet too.

That's why we got 'em right?

Can you believe my paint is about 6+ years old?
Really though, if you like black enough it isn't THAT hard to keep clean. Just wash it really good one a week, dont drive on dirt roads or through mud, keep it out of the rain, and when it does get a little dusty, whip out that California Duster!
I also like:
- most reds
- dark blue
- yellow
- Sunset Orange
- Hugger orange
- Bright white
- Silver
- Purple (yeah, it looks really good, seriously)
The great thing about thirdgen Camaros is that they look great no matter what color the paint is, unless it's teal, I hate teal on any car. No offence to anybody, just not my taste.
