Anyone remember the Competition Yellow used on the 1990 C4's? Only 241 produced when GM realized the paint was photo-sensitive. Would change intensity like sunglasses in varying light conditions.
I thought it was really cool. In the fall a few leaves would land on the car. After sitting for awhile, a lighter silohette of the leave remained until the paint became equally exposed. Sorta like the virgin Mary visions in a moldy cheese sandwhich.

Are there 2 shades of yellow?
Like "regular yellow" and premium color "Millenium Yellow" or are all 01-04 Vettes millenium yellow?
