It's neptune. But neptune is no ordinary blue. It sparkled at me in the sun on the dealer's lot. Bright, inviting. It's mood darkens when the sun goes down. Daring, darting. In the garage under flourescent lights a little purple sneaks out. It's OK, though. Purple is my school color.
I'd only seen one Lava monotone, and that one was in August before I ordered mine. Today I went to the dealer to pick it up and it was dazzling under a brilliant sun. Nothing subtle. I love it!
I picked Shadow Monotone because it will be the least likely to be seen. The memo from GM to the dealerships was as follows: Don''t bother ordering these because the two tone looks the same. I don't think so at all. The only color that will be harder to find is going to be the Envy. It's unique in it's own way!!
Abyss Monotone GT, 6 speed, Moon & Tunes, Power Group,and 16" Alloys. Soon you can see my Vibe GT at Shadowrealm's car pics but for now it is under construction!

Actually, mine is usually so dirty that you can barely tell the color anyway (the joys of living on a gravel/mud road and driving the highways in winter when you don't have a garage). I did manage to wash it the other day and was again surprised at how much I liked the color! It really is a nice looking car.
I have to agree. I actually like all the colors on the Vibe. It was hard to make a decision as to which to go with when I ordered mine. It came down to Shadow and Neptune. I went with monotone Neptune.

I had originally wanted a Neptune Vibe ... test drove a monotone Abyss, but was trading in a Black Explorer, and didn't want another black vehicle, too hard to keep clean. The dealer did a trade for my Satellite Vibe -- I really like the colour now, hides the dirt!! I've yet to see an Envy or Frosty Vibe. Toyota wanted to sell me a Powder Blue Matrix (yuck!), am I ever glad I didn't buy when I finally saw one in real life ... that car looks too girly!

I used to have a tan/gold vw and that really hid the dirt. I did not wash that car for well over a year and it still shined up pretty nice after a hard rain.I got Shadow because I was hoping for less dirt showing up compared to Abyss or Neptune - plus I really love the color - and as my signature states, I think the slight change in color for the two tone looks really good.
Shadow Vibe - two tone (almost no need for the monotone in this color IMHO) - slate interior - power package - moon and tunes - abs - 16" aluminum wheels - and the GD on the radio! http://www.cardomain.com/id/db_vibe
Powder blue matrix... that photo looks almost like silver. In the daytime, that car looked like .... I dunno words escape me. Perhaps what they'd give male Mary Kay consultants? Just not my bag, that's all. I'm a bit more utilitarian, function over form, that kind of thing.
