It is Electron Blue look at the badging it a Z06 and as the others said the darker car is an 04 Lemans Blue plus his license plate say Last C5.

Plus I would get these colour confused since I own a Navy Blue Metallic vette and I also know the owner of the two vettes in the pictures I posted.

Thanks
I traded in my Electron Blue for a Lemans Blue. It was a very tough decision. The Lemans Blue is definately darker. The Electron Blue is just a little bit lighter and stands out a little bit more when you see it coming down the road. Got my last ticket in that one!

I have to agree with you! Seriously, I think all the blues are beautiful (except Nassau - no offense)

Blues are a great color on a Corvette!!! I loved electron blue because of the "range". I have seen them look really dark and really light depending on the light. I really haven't seen LeMans blue like that until these photos, damn fine color!!!

When I was in the National Corvette Homecoming show this year I had several people come up and talk about how they loved the color and wanted to know what it was called.
