Help with color Decoding VIN
I need help with what color this is?! I’m looking to buy a medium quasar blue corvette but having a hard time getting answers from the dealer.
Dealer says it’s aqua. Looks quasar blue?

VIN shows this as a 1993 (10th digit of VIN: P = 1993)
In 1993, there were two “Blue” colors.
WA Code: 9796 = Bright Aqua Metallic
WA Code: 9544 = Quasar Blue Metallic
The above codes will be listed on that SPID label WVZR-1 mentions.
At the bottom of the label, will be listed like this: U 9544
The “U” means upper. (All one color in this case)
Sure looks like the car in your picture is Quasar Blue Metallic

There may be a difference between what it started out as, and what it is now. Nothing says it even has to be one of those 2, or even a Corvette color. Cars get repainted all the time.
