The refreshed 2019 Camaro SS was unveiled in a deep blue color (called Riverside Blue Metallic). Though generally an attractive color, the hue doesn’t seem to truly show off the revised front fascia of the new pony car. But now, we’ve dug up images of the 2019 Camaro SS in different colors via the official Chevrolet website, and we have them for you just below.
Overall, Chevy shows the 2019 Camaro SS in these seven exterior colors:
- Black
- Mosaic Black Metallic
- Garnet Red Tintcoat
- Red Hot
- Satin Steel Grey Metallic
- Summit White
- Riverside Blue Metallic
For the sake of comparison, buyers of the 2018 Camaro SS could choose from 11 different hues, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see more colors added to the palette in the near future.
The GM Authority Take
Having looked at the updated Camaro in Grey, Summit White and Red Hot, we have to admit that the 2019 Camaro SS, whose front fascia is significantly different compared to its LS and LT siblings, and one that has been criticized by many fans and enthusiasts, looks better in a lighter/brighter color than the blue in which it was introduced.
Of course, some might not share the same opinion – so tell us what you think in the comments below.

How many shades of the same color can we get?
Truly indeed what happened to the brighter colors that camaro was known for?
In my recollection there was a hugger orange that was really nice on the camaro and now every shade of gray or black is the norm. And shades of neon on a camaro only makes me think that they are really smoking something other than cigarettes at GM. They will never duplicate those beautiful exterior colors from the first gen.
Lol….got to have those black and gray tones so that the customer can spend thousands more of those dollars on the all black wheels to go with that exterior paint color, I plan on getting a new GMC Sierra by May of next year and I don’t plan on doing away with the chrome wheels for the “blacked out ” appearance .
What an ugly abomination. GM has a serious problem with taking a somewhat decent vehicle, and making it utterly offensive in a mid cycle refresh. They need to keep whoever designed this front end far away from any other GM product.
That’s what happens when you get something right the first time and then you try to make it better.
Funny, the current SS front looks great in any color. Another glaring problem these new pictures/angles show is in addition to being a complete mess, the front also is disproportionately small. Also, the refreshed lower trim models look only marginally better. Hardly the bar GM should be striving for. Recall the whole thing.
Totally agree. what a mess Al Oppenheimer should be ashamed of himself. That’s why i went out and purchased a 18 zl1 convertible before they screw that one up too.
I feel like no Camaro in history has ever had a front end as toyish and bad looking as the current ZL1, so I guess it’s true what they say about opinions. The 2019 SS while better than the ZL1, isn’t great. 2019 base model looks great.
Al Oppenheimer is Camaro Chief Engineer. He is not responsible for styling.
I think they got the idea for this look from the 1973 camaro.
I’m actually fine with it. Maybe allow a few more options for the exterior but over all it’s okay.
Its not okay the car was distinctive. Now with the new design its going mainstream just like the rest of all the other cars. they all look the same. looks like an avalon and even a resemblance to the new accord. If head of GM i would fire the whole design team. what an abomination.
Love the front…Question the back. Looks like they took a step backwards on that.
That is an extremely ugly grill. Why did they do this to the Camaro?
It looks almost as bad as the new Avalon.
It wouldn’t be nearly as insulting if the current front ends weren’t as nice as they are. These are not improvements! What exactly is the point of ruining a great design…
Summit white will never die.
GM, why the tiny pallet of Camaro colors!?!? This really grinds my gears. My wife and I are looking at a base 2018 2.0T, and pretty much every other car on the Chevy dealer lot has more interesting shades available than the Camaro. Looks like it’s the same thing for 2019 now. Even if they add a couple more hues, it’s still the same old stuff. I hope I’m proved wrong later this year when the car is actually released. In metro Detroit, I regularly see Purple and Bright Green Dodge Challengers, Grabber Blue and Bright Yellow mustangs. Even if you like just a normal red, blue, black, etc, you have to admit, the Camaro color selection sucks! For goodness sakes, you can get an Equinox in green or orange! (OK, I’m stepping off my soap box now)
GM usually reserves their best colors for models like Camaro and Corvette. Most mainstream models, Buick and Chevy, have the dullest seletion of colors in the industry. Look at what Ford, FCA, Toyota or Honda offer on models like the Fusion, Grand Cherokee, Camry or Accord and compare to a Malibu, Equinox or LaCrosse. Where are the rich, deep reds or blues, blue-greens, or even sparkly greys? GM’s colors usually lack sparkle and depth, probably because of more penny pinching. Then they charge extra for most of them.
Use 1969 Camaro colors for 50th anniversary of ’69 Camaro.
The renderings from Camaro6 by Peter167 that were featured on GM Authority yesterday are way better than this design. For the love of god, I hope GM makes changes prior to production.
Love it. The redesign looks great and the color choices are perfect. This car is about performance not crayon colors. I cant wait to buy mine. Heartbeat of America!!!!!
Nobody wants to see a brown or tan Camaro! These colors are perfect!
Agree with the majority here….this is poorly designed! Both this and the 18 Mustang.
OTFLMAoff… I guess freedom of speech doesn’t exist at the ‘Authority’. Shameful behavior.
The only color that looks decent is the black but only because it hides that abomination of a front fascia.
Lipstick ? on a pig. Can we please get off that damned retro ‘69?
John McElroy of AutolineTV spoke with Paul Czornij the Head of Color Design of BASF NA, Nancy Lockhart the Color Marketing Manager of Axalta and Jane Harrington the Global Color Styling Manager of PPG said the planning for new car colors can take as much as 2-3 years meaning it’s not as simple as one might think; but has to assume that if someone high up in the food chain of a car company wanted a specific car color for a specific product.. it will get introduced within 4-6 months.
Unreal that it has to take that long for a new car color. maybe GM should have another paint company create the new colors.
I’m with the majority here… not digging the refresh. At a minimum, move the bowtie back to the grill. I am one year out from buying an SS1LE and now I’m hoping there will be at least one new ’18 on the lot… maybe the ’19 in the SS1LE will look a little better.
do yourself a favor go out and find an 18 that you like cause the new front end is ugly. the back end looks just as bad. unless you are willing to wait for the total redesign go out and do it.
I actually like it, guess I am in the minority on this site. If they could figure out the horribly bad interior, that might convince me to actually buy one. Honestly, by far the worst interior of any of the Big 3 muscle cars. I can’t nitpick the exterior too much since the interior is something even Pitfall Harry would jump over.
Two blacks and two shades of red but no green, orange, yellow, light blue or even maroon. Exterior/interior color choices have been a major GM weakness for years now
Here’s a idea why dont you paint the car the color of your choice of you want a custom color?
I am in Total Love with this Car, Best One Yet!!! Love the New Blue!!!
I think the 2019 refresh looks good.
I love the way it looks! People are just way to critical!
My wife’s 2014 Camaro RS 2LT is painted Crystal Red Metallic. I wanted to buy her a 2018, but she declined the offer because the 2018 shades of red just cannot compete with the Crystal Red Metallic. From what I can see, the 2019’s are not going to compete either. Sad!
A shade of red is keeping you from buying a car! Dude that is pathetic!
When buying a new car for your wife, the color is important. Sorry you are offended. Served 22-years on the Marine Corps to protect your freedom of speech, even if your speech is a sad commentary to the human race. Semper Fi my friend
I spent my time in the US Navy in order to preserve my right of free speach! Yes I am a veteran! The difference is I dont make excuses for my wife, not buying a car because the shade of red is a little off is ridiculous. And I would tell that to my wife’s face. Something you clearly dont want to do. To say it kindly!
You can make excuses, I wont!
Two words my Navy friend… “Internet Troll”… outa here
Nice way to run! Tells me everything I need to know!
Not into the taillights, not retro and not modernized either, just doesn’t look right.
Put the bow tie back where it belongs, out front
Not quite sure about that front end just yet , looks kinda like someone in engineering likes manta rays. Gen 5 to gen 6 was a good upgrade in looks , these new 2019 models I’m not so sure about
Just an awful design plain and simple. Just think about it. A design that has to grow on you in order for you to to appreciate it. A cars design should create excitement and it starts with the right styling. Especially a sports car. if that’s the best that they can design they should all go back to design school. Same colors as the previous model. Just unreal.
Perhaps GM should consider asking what the consumer wants to see before they decide to take that production leap.
Put various renditions up on line, see which ones garner the most attention …… then get the design engineering group to pay attention to what they are hearing.
The car in mechanical engineering is fantastic, performance, handling, all where it should be.
Body design for the new 2019 is not where it should be. Each change should be an improvement to the car as a whole, not just a partial improvement to one area or design.
I have had every generation of Camaro built, except the 5th gen, I didn’t like the dash or interior so I didn’t buy one, along came the 6th gen , improved the dash and interior and I bought one. It’s that simple , what the consumer likes is what they buy.
GM ……. pay attention to what the consumer has to say
The truest statement that I’ve seen posted so far. I purchased an 18 zl1 convertible and to be honest I can’t describe what it feels like to drive this car the performance is unreal. The magnetic drive is just awesome. To be honest with you unless you drive the car for yourself you will never know how good this car is. So yes I agree with you on the engineering side of it. But as far as styling on the 19 they missed it completely. What we as inthusiasts fail to realize is that these things do happen. It is not the first time that the designers fail to achieve a truly great design. But hopefully they will go back and get it right the next time. In my opinion the main reason the cars hasn’t sold as well has been the price. I paid 65800 plus taxes on my car because after test driving it I realized that it was a special car. But the lower end models including the 2ss are truly overpriced.
I agree with you there on price, a lower price point on the 2SS models would definitely help in sales. The ZL1 is pricey …… but this time out I’m saying , very well worth it as the car is an incredible machine, engineering that just doesn’t stop when your on the track and can do it all day long.
GM has entered into the same area as very costly exotics sit in performance, that speaks Volumes in my eyes.
The new LT4 engine is a marvel of serious engineering as is the entire driveline but that body style doesn’t speak the same language as the rest of the car does for 2019.
