How many different color blues are there?
I know the dark blue has changed from year to year. Anywhere I can see the difference? I looked at a CE today and loved it, anything like it in 01?

I have a navy blue and love it. But I like the CE LeMans better. I like electron but it's too bright for some. Nassau doesn't do it for me but it sure stands out since I don't see many of them.

Nassau is my favorite of the blues. But they all look awsome. Just more car washing that I wanted to do 
FWIW, my sig pic is of a very, very dirty girl

Electron Blue in 2002 and 2003 would be the closest to LaMans Blue. I love my LaMans Blue CE.
