Probably the closest color to what you want is the Electron Blue. Beautiful color for the C5.

I guess I've now got to make my mind up whether it's a Z06 Electron Blue or a coupe Electron Blue....

Personally I prefer the Coupe but there doesn't seem to be many around!

Thanks for all the help!

I looked six months to find my '02 used, with only 12,500 miles. My only requirements: EB, 6-speed, low-miles and pampered. Hold out, you'll be glad you did.

I have a photo of that car, it came to our annual Dothan to Panama City Beach cruise two years ago. This year we will have the C6 Z06, come on down..... May 19th - 22nd. See our web site, for Circle City Corvettes Inc. , Dothan, Alabama for more info. You will have to do a quick search for the web site I don't think I can post the link on here.

Electon Blue is the way to go. Would have preferred a Pewter interior, but got the Light Oak. Wasn't too picky when I found the 03 with less than 4,000 miles.

Here's a few pics of my pride and joy. I fell in love with the color as soon as it came out and around here at least, its fairly rare, I hardly see any electron blue vettes, even at corvette shows. It has a beautiful tint and metal flake that looks great under direct sunlight.

Electron Blue 02-03

04 is Lemans Blue,
01 is Navy
05 Lemans Blue doesn't look near as good, too many angles, that color needs curves...

.....you might like the lemans blue too though, the only real difference between electron and lemans blue is the electron is slightly "brighter" or if you want to look at it the other way, lemans blue is slightly darker, not really noticeable unless you see them both side by side and clean.
I've seen them side to side, there is a slight difference, the Electron Blue takes my vote though.......no question the best color on the C5 of all time.

Take your time and find what you want.
It took me about 90 days to find my EB 03 Z06 with 1005 miles.
And I've had it for about 90 days
It was worth the wait.................
