Default What blue?

Noticed my coupe's Lemans Blue color is very similar to my 2013 Topaz Blue Chevy Avalanche. While at the Chevy dealer yesterday, I asked about the similarities. It looks like they have the exact paint code, but different names. In fact, the dealer had the color listed for the touch up paint as Luxo Blue. Looks like GM recycled the same color blue under the names Topaz Blue, Lemans Blue, Xenon Blue, and Heritage Blue.

Of course. Kind of like "rebadging". Cheap. One color, 4 different names for 4 different car lines.

There is a new Chevy Cruze in my neighborhood that is most definitely the same as my Lemans Blue. I doubt they would ever resurrect the color on a Corvette, but it's nice to know that the color lives on for other GM vehicles
