90-93 Corvettes were Quasar blue, 94-96 were admiral blue. Both were great blues. Silver was not offered on C4's from 1989-1995. In 96 all silver Vettes were Collector editions.
None of all this matters cause as we ALL know the best C4 color is Competition Yellow

I'm still entertaining the idea of buying a 95-96 Corvette and getting it painted Steel Blue! I absolutely love that color! The Vette in the picture has the gills from a 95-96. Is that the case? If so, then I now see that it can be done and still look amazing! 
Pic btw!

Yes it is. Look how low the profile is on the tires and how low the front air dam is to the ground. How do you drive a car that low?

Pic btw!You can easily change out the side grill to 95-96. I personally like the interior of my 91 better than my 96 grand sport. But the 96 sport seats are hard to beat. However the 91 seats "look" better. So, it is your choice. 94-96 has the ugliest steering wheel ever made but the 91 interior has the ugly gray paint. maybe you can find a clean 91 and rip out the motor and drop in something bad azz!

Yeah, it is a pain in the *** and it has been painted about a dozen times. I don't really have problems normally like going over speed bumps or driveways but if there is something in the middle of the road when driving then I am screwed. You cannot go over it because there is only 1" of clearance so I have to swerve for it and if I don't make it I have to hit.

The color you are talking about is Admiral Blue. It is my favorite color on a Vette, but if I am not mistaken it was only available in 94 and 95. There is also Quazar Blue which you can get in the years you specified. Steel Blue is another really cool color but not available in 92 or 93. It was available in 91 so that has the same body style just with an L98 engine. I included a few pics of mine. It is Bright Aqua Metallic and like the Admiral Blue tends to change colors. It is hard to capture the color with a camera but hopefully the shots give you an idea of the changing colors depending on how light hits it. With all that said, I would love to have an Admiral Blue vette. I dont think it would be a smart thing to paint mine Admiral Blue especially since it is a pretty rare car, but I really do love that color (especially when seen close to dark where it has a purple/blue color to it.
