1969 Camaro Special Order Paint Process

That color statement definitely explains why there are so many 69-72 cars with some shade of green, gold, and brown on the trim tags (both paint and interior). It's sad to see so many get restored to the generic red-on-black, etc color combos.

My favorite example would be the Olympic Gold '69 RS Z28 with deluxe green interior and a brown vinyl top, quite a combo.

I have production lists by color for many cars across different brands.

White and black were middle of the road at best - black especially was not really a performance color the way it is thought of in modern times.

Funny thing about golds is that Chrysler's 1970 roster, which had one &quot;regular&quot; gold, was not popular on performance cars, but for GM there were several shades, with all of them being popular (at least for Pontiac and Buick).
