strange 1990 color

i saw about a 1990 RS today in a usual paint pattern just a color i never saw on a camaro b4


ya know the color that came on 1990-1991 vettes

turquoise

well it was this color

now it was NOT teal like many 1991/1992 are (including my pride and joy) but instead the exact same color turquoise that came in 1990-1991 b4 they switched over to the teal in 1992 that the camaro came out with in 1991

i'll try to find a pic

Hmm, that does look fruity. I don't think that was ever a factory color option for 3rdgens.

Definately not a factory color for a thirdgen. However I guess if you won the Mary K competion you could have got a 3rd gen in pink
