Default 2001 Navy Blue Color Code

Hi All

Can anyone tell me the color Code/number for the 2000 & 2001 Navy Blue color option. I know the RPO #, 28U.
Thanks
Ray

The following link shows the paint code for model year 2000 to be WA-9567

2000 Corvette Production

However, I'm not certain about 2001, but would guess it might be the same. The following link only shows "NA" for the paint code for that year:

2001 Corvette Production and Performance

Interesting.....

They show 91 for 2000 & 2001 as Polo Green. That is a C4 color. 2000 & 2001 correct color is Dark Bowling Greenm Metallic. They also show that color made in 2002 and it was not (to my recollection).

There is another thread that talks about this very thing - the real key is what color code appears on your RPO lable, not the name of the color. It's very common for GM to come up with a generic name for a paint like Polo Green - and then the marketing folks come up with a name for specific car lines like Corvette. Case in point - Dark Bowling Green Metallic - the name means nothing to any of the other cars other than Corvette. Do the codes match up? If you go in to order paint from the parts counter or from an auto paint supply store - all you need to give them is the color/paint code - the name means nothing.
