Default Jetstream blue on a C5?

Would a C5Z look good in this newer color? Thoughts? I saw a C6 yesterday and the depth of this color blew me away. It looked gorgeous.

It's very very close to Nassau blue found in 97 through 2000 models. Yeah, it looks good.

Found a good example: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c5-general/2161935-nassau-blue-vs-jetstream-blue.html

Yeah I definitely think it would look good. I would like to see a c5z in nissans lemans sunset metallic, as well as one in ford's Melina blue.

Pic has both colors

Yes, I think a C5 would look very good in a Jet Stream Blue color.

Yeah Nassau Blue is very similar to Jetstream Blue. Nassau Blue could not be had on a Z06 since it was discontinued after 2000, but it could be had on a '99/'00 FRC.

If I get a C6 I'm leaning towards JSB.

In a recent thread about C5 Nassau Blue, we talked about the depth that colors has. It's very similar to JSB in depth. At times it takes on a dark purplish-blue hue and in bright light it can take on a real nice light blue color. It's a very dynamic color. I get a tremendous amount of comments on Nassau Blue because it's a very unexpected C5 color. People are used to seeing Torch Red, Black, Silver, even Millennium Yellow.

I think it would look good. I would also like to see Riveria blue or Mexico blue on a Corvette.

I think the mid 90's C4 Admiral blue would be nice on a C5. Closest would be electron but it's not the same.

Mercedes has a new blue available on the 2016s and it is beautiful. It looks like JSB but has more pearl in it. Absolutely beautiful!!

Hands down, Nassau Blue is my forever favorite Corvette color. One day I'll have one in that shade, but for now Anniversary Red will do in pinch. :-)
