No Colours on file... yet! Watch this space.
This may give us all some clues...
Heron White
Popular, but maybe Holden will change the name, after all it IS seven years old.
Quicksilver Metallic
Popular, I think it'll stay.
Turbine Grey Mica
Popular, Maybe it'll stay. There's been a new Grey with every model (eg. VT Tundra, VX Grey Storm, VY Turbine Grey). I hope it doesn't make it because it's a VILE colour.
Syracuse Metallic
Was slow to start with but it's getting popular. Maybe it'll make it.
Martini Mica
Interesting, it was VERY popular on the Series One but I haven't seen much of it recently... This is one of two colours that I hope wont make it.
Phantom Mica
I'd be very surprised if Holden discontinue Black! Especially when it's in high demand.
Redhot
Extremely popular! It'll make it, believe me.
Pulse Red
This colour has already been released on the 2004 Monaro CV8-R. Maybe it'll become a permanent colour. If so, expect it on the Monaro only.
Shanghai Red Mica
Getting a bit long in the tooth, nice colour though. It's been around for four years now so we'll put this in the maybe pile.
Berry Red Mica
Very nice Dark Burgundy. Is pretty popular on the Berlina/Calais, I'll put it in the maybe pile, too.
Devil Yellow
This Monaro-only colour is simply too popular to discontinue.
Cove Mica
An incredible flop! Nice colour, but don't hold your breath for it to stay.
Barbados Mica
Very popular, I couldn't see Holden killing off this superb Blue. Bad business move if they do...
Impulse Blue Metallic
The other Monaro-only colour will probably be replaced by Ego, which is a similar colour.
Ego Mica
Similar to Impulse Blue, only with a little Violet. If Cosmo gets the boot, this would be the PERFECT replacement.
Vespers Mica
Three years old now... but still popular. Maybe it'll stay.
Cosmo Mica
Hyper only lasted a year, Hothouse only lasted a year, Cosmo, unfortunately, will probably do the same... NOOOO, DON'T GOOOO!
Guessed VZ Colour Range.
Heron White (might be re-named).
Quicksilver Metallic (most likely going to stay)
Turbine Grey Mica (maybe, maybe not)
Syracuse Metallic (see Turbine Grey)
Martini Mica (maybe)
Phantom Mica (definitely staying)
Redhot (see Phantom)
Pulse Red (of 2004 Monaro CV8-R fame, maybe it'll make it, if at least on the Monaro)
Shanghai Red Mica (maybe, maybe not)
Berry Red Mica (see Shanghai Red)
Devil Yellow (too popular too kill off)
Barbados Mica (almost definite)
Ego Mica (see One Tonner SST concept car, most likely to replace Cosmo... or at least make Monaro)
Vespers Mica (most likely)
