Default color names

I am looking at a few Z06s and there seems to be a problem with the exterior color names so I figured I couuld ask here for some the truth...

2001... what blue?

2002... electron blue metallic

2003... electron blue metallic

2004 ... lemans blue

are the 2002 and 2003 above the correct names?Reason why I am askinng is b/c someone keeps telling me their 2003 is lemans blue.


Thanks so much,

Sully
