Default New c7 blue color

I am really digging the blue C7 color, aka laguna blue and blue my mind. I was hoping someone has seen this color sprayed on another car or even better a c4. I work in a body shop and paint, my black 89 needs paint bad and am seriously considering painting it this color. It would be nice to see it re sprayed on something other that a c7 to get a better idea of how it might look. Post a pic if you have one please!

Love that color, out of all the blues Corvettes came with, that's to me the best!

Beautiful.
But to my eyes, Admiral Blue is the most stunning Corvette color ever.
One way or another I'll someday own one.

That laguna blue is gorgeous. To me, there's always a great blue(s) available in each gen. I really like jetstream blue from C6 as well. I think C4 had quite a few great blues, so personally I'd stick to one of those on a C4.

I just purchased an 1988 blue one in the photo. I do love the blue but a member on the C4 section of Facebook just posted a pick of one in Black Rose. I found this color quite interesting.

Marina blue, LeMans blue, Bridgehampton blue, and the list goes on and on to Jetstream blue and the C7 Laguna blue but on a C4 Admiral blue is hard to beat.

It's really a personal taste thing. My favorite blue is the Le Mans Blue of the 2004 C5 and the 2006 & 2007 C6.

Thanks for the input. I am still leaning towards laguna blue, its something different and not an original color but still looks like it belongs on the car. I am thinking to keep the top black and maybe the mirrors also

I can never argue with Quasar. Whew. That's a sexy blue right there.

Sounds good to me. I think it'll look great. I like the idea of the black top and mirrors.

I only have my cheap laptop with me, so this is the best I can do right now
Matched the color best I could.

I like it

The new C7 color looks great.

I like the blue ones too. I have too many favorite blues to just pick one. I like all of them.

My blue ones are below.

'85 Medium Blue


'94 Admiral Blue


'99 Navy Blue

If I had the money and space, I would probably buy a C4 in every factory blue that was available. And then I'd do the same with the reds. But seriously, I think the OPs decision of laguna is a good one. Its going to POP!
