Why don't I ever see......

I was woundering, why I never see anybody with this color of car? This is the closest i could find to being my car. The paint is "Bahama Blue." (it is a stock color) Any reason that I don't see this kind of color on any other camaro?

Maybe it was only available in Bahama for the Bahama Mamas?

I like it. I've seen light blue, but nothing quite like that.

Is it me or does it have a purple tinge to it?

There was never a "bahama blue" offered on a thirdgen Camaro... at least not in the US, and I'm not aware of unique export colors.

From 82-84, "Light Blue" was available.
In 82, "Light Jade" was avalable, which might be a blue... I never was much for my box of crayolas when I was a kid.

From 85-88 there was "Bright Blue".

From 89-91 there was once again a "Light Blue" color.

The closest in 92 was "Medium Quasar Blue".

I think we are refering to the 89-91 "light blue", but what ever you call it, i agree, it is awesome.

Wasn't it in that Motor oil commercial where the Wife tries to sell the guys RS in a garage sale? She tries to put the sign on the car while the guy is looking through all his stuff she's getting rid of.

Come on, you guys have to have seen it.

I think that's just odd lighting on a Maui blue, Camaro 88, same year, maybe 89 also on the Firebird.

My neighbor has that same color on his camaro. His is a '90. I thought he called it coral blue or something like that though. It is the stock paint I know that.
