Wow, thanks for the responses guys! I know the darker underneath color is the REAL car color. The lighter color on top of it is a PAINT OVER.
The reason I am having questions on the paint is because I know that "everyone calls" 1996 37U Bright Teal Metallic and 37Q Molding color is found as DARK Bright Teal Metallic. The WA-146A is important as this is what a paint shop will go by and their isn't much info. on this. Somehow this just doesn't sound right and I hear of people having a hard time repainting Bright Teal Metallic to look original looking. NOTHING SEEMS 100% CLEAR.
This is straight off of Camarosource.ca for molding colors. As you can see, only 2 have year (96) listed out to the side.
AND THIS IS LISTED FOR 37U PAINT CODE
Then I find this information listed on Yearly GM Paint Codes « website. It says YEARLY GM PAINT CODES (KEEP IN MIND IT IS NOT MODEL SPECIFIC).
It has this listed for 1996 Paint Codes:
Medium Teal Blue Metallic Clearcoat 37/WA146A
So as you can see, I am clearly and utterly confused here. The second site makes no listing of Bright Teal Metallic or Dark Bright Teal Metallic. Also the first site doesn't list either for 1996 off to the side (just 1992). I'm looking for REAL answers here. Could this be the reason the color is sooo hard to have repainted to look like original did? If so, what is TRULY CORRECT? I am only stating what I have found in hours upon hours of deep researching with what seems to be conflicting information all over the web.
HELP HELP HELP. I'm more then willing to listen to reason but hard facts are the only true answers.

Now their is once again conflicting answers on Base or RS Model.
If someone has a BASE Camaro, what does your Title list the model as?
If someone has a RS Camaro, what does your Title list the model as?
OR Does Everyone have Title Model Listed as Camaro/RS?
Looking for TONS of responses to this post, so a comparative can be made. Thanks

Your car looks like it was repainted mystic teal #79, either by mistake or the owner liked that shade better.
