Default name of the color of my car?

like the car in my avitar pic. it is green and flip/flops to purple and blue.

aqua blur? does that sound right? 98 firebird btw- i know on the newer gm vehicles it is aqua blur but mine is slightly different than the brand new color (on ssr's and whatever else)

thanks in advance...

hahaha- nobody ******* knows.

im gonna gonna call it bgm for blue/bright green metallic. it is not cameleon but flip-flop paint (if that makes any sense).

if the brochure says blue/green metallic then i'll go with that.

btw- forgot about this post.


** what color does navy blue metallic flip to? i didn't think it did like my car is green and purple at times, almost like 2 completly different colors at different spots on the car under different light. when i bought the car i thought it was green because the picture did not show the true colot. pleasently surprised when i got home.

It is definitely Blue Green Chameleon. I should know, the car from your avatar is my old 98 Formula! I took that picture. I factory ordered that car in Jan 98, and had it until Nov 2000. That color was wicked! I've got lots of pics of it (including the one in your avatar) on my website.

The color is Blue-Green Chameleon Metallic. I can't believe that more of you didn't know this.

Blue-Green Chameleon I do not believe was ever a factory option-it is what it would be classified as however based upon the look

will post the pictures shortly keep updated

Definitely it was a factory option! I should know, as mentioned, I factory ordered one. This color came out first on the 1996 models, and continued right through the 2000 model year. It is rare, but is definitely a factory color.

FWIW, on the Camaro this color is called Mystic Teal.

Are you saying I'm lying? I've got the 98 brochure right here in front of me, Blue Green Chameleon was definitely an option! And I know someone who has a 2000 Formula in Blue Green Chameleon, he also factory ordered it.

A Chameleon T/A for ya as well^

as you can see the owners of the Green claim it is BRIGHT GREEN METALLIC-that is the color from 98-^ mayb not prior to that however-and Chameleon is really a CHAMELEON not jsut a color that has a trick auto body people call a Color SHIFT

I MAY be wrong in some way, but from what ive heard,been told, and seen on here it is Bright Green Metallic
