The previous owner said he believed this color is a vette color, just not sure what year. I went to have some touch-up paint made and the guy said it was blue with a little green pearl. It changes colors slightly depending on the environment. I've been told I have a pretty blue vette. I've also been told I have pretty green vette.

I'm not sure if photo albums are working anymore but if they are you can check mine for a few pics of LeMans Blue. Like any metallic color, it varies depending on light conditions.

I just did the exact same color change on my '69.
Well I should say am still doing it. I'm still buffing it out and reassembeling it
I went with electron blue with a black stripe.

Previous owner put a BMW blue on my '73. I can try and get the actual paint code if anyone is interested. Its a neat color in that it changes a bit in different light. Looks very dark at night and much brighter out in the sun. Every now and then you can see a hint of purple when the light is just right.

'79 vette. Dark blue. base coat/ clear coat. My co-workers , who have seen it many times in an underground parking garage , still call it black!! if they talk about it. Origional paint code. I'm happy with it.
