Here's my 92 Bright Aqua Metallic. Quasar Blue (offered simultaneously) looks about the same to me in pictures, but I've been told you can tell the diff in person.

My second ZR1 was Turquoise Metallic, available only in model years '90 & 91. It was replaced with Bright Aqua Metallic in '92. Only 16 ZR1s were painted Turquoise in '90 and 94 in '91 for total of 110...not a big seller.

IMO, Chevy mixed up the names of these two colors.
RPO-42 Turquoise Metallic looks like an "aqua marine".
While RPO-43 Bright Aqua Metallic looks like an "indian jewerly turquoise".

The previous owner of my 86E said it was repainted SeaFoam Green for '91. I say it's Teal.

Thanks!

Although I can't take all the credit... when I went to the dealership to look at this car, I could tell the previous owner (who had owned it for 11 years) took great care of it. So it was an easy job to clean it up... just needed a good wax and glaze to come out like that.

It's a great color and has really grown on me!
