Default Atomic orange vs Daytona sunset orange metallic photos

When i was searching for my car I knew I wanted an orange car. I could only find a few side by side comparison photos online and seeing the two colors side by side in person was next to impossible so when I got the opportunity to snap some pics of my atomic orange car beside my buddies DSOM car I had to take it. So I'm posting these pics in hopes that it helps someone else in the future make an educated decision in their search for an orange car if desired.

The darker one looks red to me. At least from the photos.

it's so hard to get good pics of the flake contained in the orange paints.

Didn't realize the presence of an underhood light changed on these cars.

The light went away in 2007.

30,000 cars x $10 light = $300,000 in savings for GM??

I have a base 2007 AO car, it gets old after a couple of years.

DSOM is my favorites for this car. It was a short lived run though. I wanted an 08 or newer when I was Z shopping.

is "Inferno Orange" allowed to play here? Here's mine, in front of my "Ignition Orange" Ram Sport. Something's wrong with me. What sensible person buys TWO orange cars? (Please excuse the yellow "lawnmower" parked behind my truck. I take no responsibility for that!)

I dig Inferno Orange too. Looking good! come to think of it... There are not too many colors I do not like that corvettes came with.

Its so hard to judge by photos. In some pictures the AO looks like it is very orange, but I have had one park right beside my Inferno Orange, and by comparison, the AO appears more brown or copper.
