My understanding is the paint shop only has ability to do 12 colors .

They already offer Zuez Bronze which is brown. No way GM adds another brown as they have to drop another color from the offering.

There certain untouchables
Black
Artic White
Blade Silver
Torch Red
1 gray even if not dark shadow gray
1 yellow always accelerate yellow brand new this year
1 darker blue minimum always offered
Long beach red is popular
The new Rapid blue is extremely popular 1st year offered
Zues Brown 1st year offering
Sebring orange is popular too
Cyber matrix grey is one of the newest but again seem popular

That's the 12 current offerings I dont see them dropping any.

If they do I bet on Zues Bronze would be first to go and I dont think brown is a big demand in this segment of cars.

Open Question Would a Custom color be available next year, assuming the initial frenzy is over? Would like to special order a car in a GM/Chevrolet color, and understand substantial extra cost. Is that possible for mortals?

Hmm. Well, wasn’t there an interview from the reveal where one GM employee almost slipped and said his favorite was something unannounced?

Not for mortals or deities. It's not something GM offers at all and won't.

That was before all 12 colors were named and announced.

I wish they could do their own paint to sample option, but in a GM way. Have three unique colors, different every year, that you’d pay maybe a few grand more for and they’d be batched together when sprayed to reduce cost. Maybe even limit the number of cars sprayed with each.

So the D30 option or “non recommended color combination override” is a see the dealer for details described option. That is just interior color of choice in any of the colors offered. Can a car be delivered in primer, as back in the old days?

No. You have your choice of 12 exterior colors and have to pick one.

I cant believe GM spent $439 million on a paint facility, and they can only paint 12 colors. They should be offering Paint to Sample cars.

I agree. I can live with the so-so rear end, but not the exterior color choices. I guess I’ll just leave the cash in the bank and keep driving my ‘05 a little longer.

Dang 12 color choices and folks not happy.

Even if you don't count the shades of gray, they're giving us seven real colors to choose from. More than most of the competition offers. Most of the colors are free too, and only $500 or $1k for the upcharge colors, again cheap by comparison.

Time to bump up them xans and get happier.
