Yours really looks good.

I will cheat a little bit. The '94 I am picturing below was mine, but I sold it in '95. I still regret that. It was a blue with black interior 6 speed. I sold it with about 25k miles on it. I would love to get another one.

I was waiting for the first ZR-1 owner to pop in with what accounts to a "checkmate."

Admiral Blue ZR-1, for my money, is as good as it gets (shout out to Quasars, too!). And they're kind of a unicorn.

This my brother's C4. His car always gets more attention than my lowly C6. I love the color!

I own a '93 Bright Aqua Metallic but for comparison here is my '18 Grand Sport in Admiral Blue. The shade of blue has changed, it's now darker more violet than the original admiral color.

It's a little disappointing seeing that they changed the shade. The original looks better IMO. If they changed the shade then they should have renamed it...

All the Admiral Blue C4s in this thread look great but this is my favorite ZR1 too.

You shouldn't need to use a hiding emojii when all you did was state the truth. lol.

The new Admiral is still a good color, but its not Admiral if its not Admiral... and its not.

That made more sense in my head. They went closer to dark blue metallic but not quite that dark - Speaking of DBM as an aside, it had the same RPO code as the original AB, interestingly enough. 28U
