Does anyone know the year and color code(if possilbe) for a corvette color called Ultra Marine Blue? I belive it was a late 60s or 70s color.

Thanks a bunch!

Someone posted a link to the Dupont paint site, and I downloaded their color code book for all years. Pop me an IM with your email and I will send it.

So don't know if it will help. . .but I belive my car is painted in a non-corrvette blue. And I believe it is Ultramarine Blue. I belive this because my car just took some damage and I've been trying to match the color to GM color charts at a body shop. My corvette was painted in 1983 by the previous owner. . .who swears that he picked Nassau blue. . .but this car is NOT even remotly close to Nassau blue. He is 100% confident that the color was a GM color. So i've been comparing paint swatches to my cars paint (which looks show room new and has only seen the sun for may be 100 days since painted.

After looking at all color codes and samples between 1983 and 1955. . .the only color that came close was Ultramarine Blue. That coler was code 24 and used in 1978 only. It was also called Bright Blue or Martinuque Blue depending the GM brand.
