The 2024 Chevy Camaro adds four new exterior colors to its palette: Nitro Yellow Metallic, Panther Black Matte, Panther Black Metallic Tintcoat, and Riptide Blue Metallic. The “Panther” hues are offered exclusively on the Collector Edition variants. Here’s our first look at the new Blue hue.
Assigned RPO code GJV and touch-up paint code WA-121J, Riptide Blue Metallic is one of 11 exterior colors offered on the muscle car, which include:
- Black
- Radiant Red Tintcoat
- Red Hot
- Riverside Blue Metallic
- Sharkskin Metallic
- Summit White
- Vivid Orange Metallic
- Nitro Yellow Metallic (new for 2024)
- Riptide Blue Metallic (new for 2024)
- Panther Black Metallic Tintcoat (new for 2024)
- Panther Black Matte (new for 2024)
Riptide Blue Metallic is a no-cost item that is available on all trim levels and can be combined with all Camaro interior colorways except Adrenaline Red. It’s also the only paint color available with the limited-run 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Garage 56 Edition.
For reference, here are all five available interior colorways offered on the 2024 Camaro:
- Jet Black
- Medium Ash Gray
- Adrenaline Red
- Ceramic White
- Jet Black with Red accents
The 2024 Chevy Camaro arrives as the ninth and final model year of the current sixth generation, featuring a pair of special-edition variants. These include the 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Garage 56 Edition, as well as the 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Collector Edition, both of which offer their own unique content and varying levels of exclusivity to pay homage to the first-gen Camaro’s internal program code of “Panther.” The Collector Edition will be offered on all trim levels, but only the ZL1 can be ordered with the Panther Black Matte paint, the first matte paint option ever offered on the Camaro.
A boatload of other changes for the 2024 Camaro include dropping two paint colors, the Shock and Steel Edition package, the lowered suspension package and the sway bar package, the 20-Inch Caliente wheels, the base 1LS trim level, and the turbo 2.0L LTG engine. Additionally, the 2024 Camaro SS 1LE Suspension Handling Package is no longer available while the full SS 1LE Track Performance Package remains available to order.
In March, GM confirmed a next-generation Chevy Camaro will eventually follow the 2024 model year to keep the nameplate alive.
The 2024 Chevy Camaro rides on a variant of the GM Alpha platform, yet approximately 70 percent of the Alpha architecture’s components are unique to Camaro.
While production of the 2024 Chevy Camaro kicked off in August, the 2024 Camaro will get a condensed production run, with fewer units planned, though GM will produce more 2024 Camaro units with the 6.2L V8 LT1 engine and 2024 Camaro ZL1 availability will increase over the 2023 model. In fact, GM Authority has exclusively learned that GM will end 2024 Chevy Camaro production earlier than expected.

Riptide blue first look? I’ve owned one since September, so not quite a first look for me.
I’ve had my Riptide Blue 2SS convertible since September too. Love the color – so glad they came out with it and so glad I was able to get an allocation!
You’re right on top of things……
Camaro production ceases this month…LOL…..
Didn’t Chevy end production for the Camaro or at least very soon??
Wow, slow news day as the last ’24’s will be built this month in a very short final build year. Big mistake to drop Camaro again. Meanwhile Ford announces current Mustang to be built through 2028 model year.
That’s right purdy man.
Very nice color!
I hope your dealer ordered one or can find one because you can’t order one. Why don’t you at GM Authority just let us know when the last Camaro is built and rolls off the assembly line.
Actually, and according to last week’s GMA article, the last Camaro will roll off the assembly line next Thursday. How is it that they are announcing a new hue for 2024?
I thought the Camaro was phased out and production was finished
Convertibles is done. Coupes are done this week.
Amazing, too bad it took GM until the LAST MODEL YEAR to design a good looking blue color.
Lucky I was able to get one.
The Riptide Blue was my color choice for a 24 until my wife got it with an Equinox. Can’t have 2 cars with the same color, right? lol I couldn’t find a Blue Camaro within 500 miles of me anyway. I got a 23 Camaro in Vivid Orange and its look is much the same as the 24. So, anyone crying about the 24 ought to get a 23 before they’re all gone. Just sayin’. 🙂
This looks like the same medium blue the 6th Gen was launched with back in 2016.
I don’t think it’s the end for the camaro, just a break until they come put with the seventh generation. Not worried about Mustang Lil pony toy, we all know Ford flooded the market, simply put, they won’t appreciate, where the Maro always will. The rule of supply and demand takes place.
Rip Tide blue is the name of a current Corvette color.
Got my 2023 Rapid Blue convertable Camaro last year and I love it !
