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?

Did you tell the dealer where the SPID label is located? Center console lid on the inside! Ask them to give you snapshot of that or take your snapshots to a GM dealer and with the VIN they can help you!

That is Quasar Blue.

Aqua Metallic is much lighter

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.

Here's a shot of the two side by side. Pretty obvious how different they are. The shot of the one you're looking at sure looks like Quasar to me also.
