Is this it?
Grey-Green metallic. Looks very purple in many situations. Almost like a chameleon color.
It was a 94 only option, and the rarest color that year. around 5,000 cars. I can get the exact production number if this is it.
I've never seen a car other than mine this color. My car is also a very rare 6speed convertible. The original owner that I bought this car from claims he ordered it in 93 and it is the first 6-speed ragtop ever built. I wish there was a way to verify that.

Based on vin number, you should be able to identify when teh car was built, and someone should be able to pull stats on how many were built that way. My experience is that most of the time these claims are baseless, and even if they are, it would not make it any more rare or valuable.2000 Z-28 Convertible, neutral leather interior and neutral top, hotchkis STB, SLP Bowtie Grill, WhisperLid, K&N, cold air induction

it's called "pearl plum purple".. 94 is the only year chevy put the color out and I personally like mine. whenever I got pulled over I have gotten different color on my ticket. sometimes it was black, sometimes silver but mostly gray. he he. its funny.

According to the "Camaro White Book"..... 1994 colors incuded:
Code 91 "Purple Pearl Metallic" - 5,801
Code 18 "Dark Green-Gray Metallic" - 4,710
Both colors are also listed for 1993, with 4,350 Code 18 and 4,920 Code 91 built.
Those are the only two possible colors.... there was no "silver" of any kind in 1994.
According to the "Firebird Red Book", Code 91 was also called "Purple Pearl" and was used in 93 and 94. Code 18 was called "Dark Green-Gray Metallic", and was only used on the 1994's.Fred

I just dug out some of the original dealer brochures for the 94 Firebird, and the dark gray color swatch is labeled "Gray Purple Metallic". A friend of mine has a TA coupe in this color, and I think "gunmetal with a hint of purple" describes it quite well.Fred
