37U - Imperial Blue met.
41U - Black
50U - Summit White
56U - Sunburst Orange met.
67U - Silverstone met.
74U - Victory Red
Just an FYI: According to the 2008 brochure, this list is incorrect. The brochure says the available colors are:
- Blue Flash Metallic (extra cost)
- Black
- Victory Red
- Summit White
- Imperial Blue Metallic
- Sunburst Orange II Metallic
- Dark Gray Metallic
- Cardinal Red Metallic
- Silverstone Metallic
- Sandstone Metallic

There is no mention of "Techno Gray" or "Merlot Jewel Metallic"

The names are not the same, but the code numbers are correct. Different GM divisions use different names for paint colors, but the code numbers are the same.
If you go to Post #20, you will see that I did update the colors with the correct names.

Ahhh... so "Techno Gray" is "Dark Gray Metallic" and "Merlot Jewel Metallic" must be "Cardinal Red Metallic"...

Thumbs up 2008 HHR brochure

I got my copy of the 2008 HHR brochure today, from my dealer. This is page 9 of the brochure...When I first saw this, I thought they might actually be producing 2 tone HHRs now. However, at the bottom of the page it says "HHR Panel 2LT in Silverstone Metallic/Black (not an available color combination)." Then why put it in the brochure?!?!? Oh well, maybe they are getting closer to producing the 2 tone from the factory.

They had to do something with the panel that GM was touring the auto shows with.

What was the sort of pinkie jewelly dark red of 06 called? I had it as my second choice, but we don't see many on the road.

I like that blue color for 08, but why at an extra cost?

Thumbs up 2008 HHR colors

This is the 'colors' page from the '08 HHR brochure...'Blue Flash Metallic (extra cost)' seems like it could be a re introduction of Daytona Blue?!?!?
