2022 Chevy Camaro Gets New Vivid Orange Color: First Look

The 2022 Chevy Camaro adds two new exterior colors to its palette: Rapid Blue and Vivid Orange Metallic. Here’s our first look at the new orange hue.

Assigned color code GCF and touch-up paint code WA-626G, Vivid Orange Metallic is one of three warm hues available for the 2022 Camaro, along with Red Hot and Wild Cherry Tintcoat. Vivid Orange is also one of four metallic hues as well as one of three extra-charge colors available for the Camaro, along with Rapid Blue and Wild Cherry Tintcoat.

It’s worth noting that the 2022 Chevy Camaro offers a total of nine exterior color options:

  • Red Hot
  • Satin Steel Metallic
  • Summit White
  • Black
  • Vivid Orange Metallic
  • Shadow Gray Metallic
  • Riverside Blue Metallic
  • Rapid Blue

As mentioned, the new Vivid Orange color is not included in the base price of the 2022 Camaro. Instead, it carries an extra charge of $395. Additionally, the new orange hue is available on all trim levels and with every interior color combination, except for Adrenaline Red.

And since Blue and Kalahari convertible tops were deleted for the 2022 model year, the Black top is the only available convertible top color.

  • 2LT

Production of the Chevy Camaro has been on and off at the GM Lansing Grand River facility in Michigan. Production was down for two weeks in September, including the weeks of September 13th and September 20th. The downtime is the result of the ongoing global microchip shortage. Before the stoppage, Camaro production began mid-August. Luckily, 2022 Camaro production has fully restarted on Monday, October 4th.

Noteworthy changes to the 2022 Chevy Camaro over the 2021 model include the deletion of the LT 1LE Track Performance Package, expanded availability of the Wild Cherry Design Package – now simply referred to as the Design Package – since it is now available with the two new color options, Vivid Orange and Rapid Blue. Additionally, a new Design Package 3 is joining the lineup while Design Package 2 becomes available on 1LT, LT1, and 1SS models.

  1. Shadow Gray is still my favorite color. I like the orange but I could see it getting old really fast. Loud colors can do that. I still think this is a great looking car, I really want the SS 1le but 45k is alot of scratch. I guess I am in the minority because they are not selling at all.

    1. On the loud:
      I agree 100% for a car that you drive daily! Been there, done that, with victory red. It was on my daily econobox Z24 parked outside my kitchen window -as my garage was full of better cars/toys, and I got sick of it in less than a year. If a loud color is on something that you hardly ever drive, then it’s fine, but to each their own!…

    1. You’re right, from these pics it looks more like a burnt orange. Someone must have screwed up on naming it.

    2. I own it!!! Not brown at all!! Perfect orange color … doesn’t scream ORANGE!!!! like Crush did

  5. Was hoping for a bright orange, like a Tangier Orange but with metallic. Just a little brighter than Crush. Have wanted a Camaro since the IROC was new. Time’s running out tho

  6. I was hoping for Tangerine

    1. Why you wouldn’t of bought one anyways.

  7. BEWARE This Color IS NOT ORANGE . It varies from rust to brown depending on sunlight. In pictures it appears way more orange than in person. I waited 9 months for a ZL1 convertible that I first tried to get in crush but was canceled in December 0f 2020 despite leaving it on the chevy build web site all year. One of the biggest disappointments I’ve experienced in the car hobby.

  8. wish they kept hunter green metallic. Mary makes such poor decisions

  9. Need to drive within the speed limits with this orange color. Too contrasting for the public safety officers to get a visual on when exceeding posted speeds.

  10. This is an excellent, warm emberlike metallic orange. Reminds me of Burnt Orange Metallic which looked terrific on the 1971 SS 454 Chevelle. Thank goodness it is NOT tangerine or some other obnoxious lowest common denominator safety pylon orange for the arrest me set.

    1. I HAD A 1971 CHEVELLE SS IT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THIS

      1. IT’S DAMNED WELL CLOSE ENOUGH

  11. I really wish they would come back out with an orange truck, I had a 07 Burnt Orange Avalanche and a 2015 Orange Silverado. I would love for them to come out with the Avalanche orange for the 2022 Silverado! Please tell me you are coming out with another orange truck! Everyone loves my 2015 Orange Silverado!

  12. Sorry, this is not a vivid orange. Don’t really care for it. Would rather have them bring back Imperial Blue. I also have a 2017 50th Anniversary hyper blue SS. The last year of the Camaro should be more of an updated retro model. I think it would be more popular!

  13. Corvette had a color like this, Daytona Sunset Metallic and it looked great on the vette.

  14. Yippee! A new color. If that doesn’t boost sales I don’t know what will.

    Reply
  15. These new Camaro’s look and perform great in any color.

  16. Crush was a much better Orange.

    This is a bad attempt to subdue a loud color.

  17. Yawn

  18. No green AGAIN!

  19. It IS a vivid orange in person (not burnt or brown at all), and yet not gaudy, its one of GM’s best orange’s IMHO because it looks great in sun and overcast and shows up the body lines because of the metallic flake that provides contrast with light/dark. If you want to see it in real pics look up Caddy’s amazing 668HP 2022 CT5-V or CT4-V Blackwings in this color (Cadillac calls it Blaze Orange).
