Must be Very special paint
If you got a 2014 Impala in Crystal Red Tintcoat it would cost an additional $395 for that color. Crystal Red Tintcoat for the C7 will run you $995. For the 6 Franklin's is it radar/lazier proof, never needs washing or waxing and have a deflector beam?

It's saves 2 ounces of weight over the Impala "base" paint. Therefore, it's worth more!

Yep and we just bought a 2014 Impala LTZ in Crystal Red. What an improvement over the older Impala.

So, that shade of blue is unique to the C7 or is the name of the color unique to the C7? :
I've seen other Chevys running around in Carlisle Blue, but I'm sure that wasn't the name of the color on those cars.

They build/sell many more cruze's and impala's so changing the body shop to a "premium" color yields more cars of that color reducing the cost since it is averaged among more cars.
Also, corvette tax.

Unique to the C7. Paint code is WA-135X. Not found on any other model.

CRM on a Cruze $325
CRM on an Impala $395
CRM on a Corvette $995
That is a Corvette tax. $600 to $670 more than the same color on different models from the same manufacturer.
