Electron Blue is my second favorite color on the C5, next to Torch Red.
It is a very close second for me, really close. Both are simply gorgeous on the C5.

P.S. I really like black too, but much harder to keep clean.

Have a '03 EB Coupe with a bucket of Zaino on it. Sparkles like a diamond. Whenever it's in a crowd of Vette owners it never fails to get compliments from other owners, both male & female.

Corvettes at Carlisle has had an American Flag display made of attendee's cars.
The scale of the flag is often determined by how many blue cars are in attendance.

Red & white are always in abundance.

My last C5 was Electron Blue in color. It is a really beautiful color on the C5. I liked it a lot and got compliments all the time. If the car is in good shape both cosmetically and mechanically, you won't go wrong with the EB color.

Can’t go wrong with blue, I like mine although it’s DNM.
Electron blue would be my second color choice over any others.

When I bought my '03 it was the color that first caught my eye and sold me. I never tire of looking at it.
