One more thing - would it be too much to ask that a few of these Vette colors not be available on everything from Cobalts to Silverados? They actually mix the paint at the Vette plant, so it's not like they get much of a volume discount.
My other complaint is that I think they need to start making decisions based on a younger target demographic. I get the impression they are trying too hard not to alienate the agieing faithful (of which I am one) and are way too conservative in choices they're making. The Vette always led the way in styling before and it would be nice of them to get that back IF they'll get someone other than Peter Aztec making the calls. It's unbelievable that C6 debuted without a bright red, and what's up with these minor shade changes with the reds, silvers and yellows?

Check the Pontiac color chips.
