GM’s styling department was originally called “Art and Colour,” an indication of the importance The General has always placed on color. And since the Volt hype campaign is leaving no gimmick unturned, GM is offering fans an opportunity to name the greenish-silver color that debuted with the first production-look Volt. The prize? An early test-drive of a pre-production (of course) Volt. Since we’re sure to be barred from test-fleet Volts, why not submit a color name for a chance at what could be TTAC’s first road test of the automotive Hail Mary? Our choices: Silver Lining or Bailout Green. Yours?

This doesn’t explain why car interiors are so drab and dull now. Black, beige/tan, grey – that is all that seems to be available for car interiors nowadays.

@jpcavanaugh “Tarpshadow green” too funny.
Discharge Green
Rarefied Air
Copper Carbonate

Something catchy like

“Watts Up? White” (Volt)
“Naked Blue Velvet”
“French Kiss Rouge”
