As a dissapointed Bears fan....
it is certainly not Colts Blue. 
It is Electron Blue. IMHO the most beautiful color Corvettes came with. A glance to the left will prove my bias.
It looks like you got a great car. Congratulations!! The grin will never go away (or the desire to mod it)
Enjoy it, and drive it a lot. Everytime you start it will feel like a .....

Congrats on your new Vette and welcome to the Forum. That's one great looking Vette. I like your color description of Colts Blue too.

Sharp car, "still asleep".
Don't apologize for the A4. My '02 is so equipped and I love it. All that silky torque and HP makes for a perfect cruiser.
Curious, do you know if the car has the 3:15 performance rear axle ratio? Check the options list, that should be on a sticker inside the glove compartment. You can find the codes in a sticky, as I recall, here on the Forum.

Patriots blue is actually nicer.
Good luck with the new ride.

I LOVE buying garage queens. I bought a 4-year old Vette with 13k miles on it saving about 40% off of the new MSRP. Someone paid way too much money to let such a machine just sit and collect dust.
