I don't understand at all why a color would be on constraint at the very beginning of a new production year! I just can't imagine that a paint supplier would not be able to provide the factory everything it needs to start painting the new colors immediately. It angers me to hear stuff like this, GM promotes two new colors for 2016 but then tells customers you can't get them right away? If I were in a position to order a 2016 right now, it would be Long Beach Red, but I would be super mad to find out I had to wait an extra bit to get it!

I wonder if they need to close out the colors for 2015 before they can start the new colors.
Could be a limit on the number of different colors in the paint booths.

Are "constraints" really not just another word for pi$$ poor planning? I just don't get it at all.

But I know they stopped painting them in Velocity Yellow a few weeks ago, and I think Crystal Red production stopped shortly after that too. So in my mind there is really no legitimate excuse to have these two colors on constraint right now.
