Blue is such a simple color to do. It's one of the primary colors, in fact.

How the hell is it that GM can continue to f*ck up blue on the Corvettes is beyond me. JSB makes me twitch, and this one makes me want to vomit. Admiral Blue anyone? LeMans Blue anyone? Those were good blue colors.

Bleah, IMHO.

I would drive that straight to Earl Scheib.

I've often referred to JSB as "Smurf Blue". A buddy of mine topped that with the new one when he saw it. He said, "Eek. My Little Pony Blue?"

I like it. I'm now going to refer to this abomination of a color as MLP Blue.

:iagree:
I'm not big on Blue and it's hard to make a blue that SINGS to me, but i felt the LE Mans blue was one of the best looking blues i've seen, that was a great color..

Russell ZR1 05-25-2011 04:19 PM

it's kind of like the sky blue that can't tell if it's partly cloudy or partly sunny...

Thank you, why not Admiral Blue again or Lemans Blue. I don't want my blue to have a "baby blue cast or green cast". I can't imagine a room full of "Corvette People" or "Team Corvette" all said, YES! Thats the color we need for 2012! WTF! Bring back some of the older blues, Bridgehampton Blue, Bryar Blue, Marina Blue, something?

JSB is my favorite color on a C6. However, that new blue is hideous. :ack:

Now your talking brother...:thumbs:

:ack:It is a horrible color, but I bet it will be worth some money 20-30 years from now.

:iagree: Lemans Blue, Electron Blue or Admiral Blue again would be great.

That looks terrible!

Assuming anyone actually buys that color. Well maybe they will cancel the color during the production run and bring back black!

Hokie 05-25-2011 07:08 PM

terrible. I agree that electron blue and lemans blue are the best!

I'm with you!:cheers:

Wife said it looks like 'Ghost Blue'. It looks terrifically stupid with comp grey wheels. Let's see one with chrome wheels (even though I'm not a chrome wheel guy), that might help with contrast. I just can't see anybody specifically choosing that color. And the 'color team' at GM needs to be pimp slapped.

Agree with the best blue colors - electron, marina, Le Mans - this won't go down even in the Top 10. That's a fleet color.

RDOVETTE 05-25-2011 08:09 PM

I would describe that as Carlise Gray.:D
