Atomic Orange rocks.

AO does not look $750 better than DSOM, IMHO. YMMV, LSMFT, BFD.

To me there is a big difference between the two blues, but not the oranges.

DSOM looks like an AZTEC color, whole AO looks like a Vette color.

Colors are so very subjective. Just made a deal for a DSOM VERT after parking my DSOM coupe next to a Colbalt that likely has the same color orange as the atomic.

I wouldn't say it sucks, but it doesn't look as rich, deep, or tasteful on a Vette as Dsom. But then again some folks buy colors that others would not---whatever floats your boat.

It really is amazing how similar the colors are in those pictures. I'm going to have to see them in person.
