Yes 100x yes

GM seems to struggle with certain colors, and bright greens and purples are two of them.

They pretty much struggle with any bold color. It's just not in their DNA.

It really isn't

Although, they do well with orange and sometimes yellow.

OK, but not great with those colors either:

IMO, they've probably come closest on Yellow - but many of their yellows look like taxi cab yellow.

GM heard you...they are off trying to dig up the paint code from my Mom's Gold 1980 Buick Regal that she drove in the day. I'm sure it'll be close!

They do seem to have a phobia about going bold….even with interior colors…..black, red, gray…..that is one of the reasons I went with Habanero and Sebring Orange….If you are going to compete in the exotic market you need to have exotic bold color combos…people like to standout and not blend in...

I thought they did pretty well with the orange colors, especially the early C6s.

I have believed since C8 release that GM should have grown some, and done the MOPAR colors of 1969. The C8 seems perfect for those colors. Plum Crazy, Panther Pink, Lemon Twist, Sub Lime, all would be very cool.....
