okay this may sound like an odd answer...you're probably referring to a custom paint job.

if you're driving in the night go with a light metallic color like silver. i have a 77 that's silver (it's much much lighter than the corvette silver though). along with american racing chrome wheels and chrome sidepipes, it looks amazing after dark.

Le Mans Blue. Trust me...it's the best blue you will ever see on a Vette...

I gotta admit...that's a sexy C3. I'm torn between that and the Le Mans.
