The current paint code for Hummer's Fusion Orange is 55U. The one that will be used on the 2007 Corvette as Atomic Orange is 83U, according to my source.

It appears that it will be a different color than the Hummer's.

I'm taking a stab at this but I believe it says, "DSOM is the fastest colour."

Tut mir leid, aber 'DSOM' ist hasslich.

Ich habe gern schwarz. Es gibt keine andere Farben.

Saw a new GTO that looks like it may be AOM.

The vert C6 on the Chevy lot down the street is darker.

I hate to see DSOM go.

It is one of my favorite colors other than MS.
