Default VY vs MY

Is there much difference between Velocity Yellow and Millinium Yellow, don't think I've ever seen the two side by side. ?????

I like VY but it has a greenish tone under certain lights that made me like MY better, but that's now in the past...

I always thought the MY was a heavy color and that C5's were a heavy looking car.
VY is a much lighter looking color, and the C6 a lighter looking car

I've always liked MY and, if GM had never come out with VY, I would have been completely satisfied owning a MY car.

MY is still a great color, but it looks dated compared to VY.

Millenium Yellow has a gold overspay. Victory Yellow has a bit of a green tint. You can see the difference only when the two cars are next to each other.

When both yellows are speterated all you see is eye popping YELLOW
