My Z06 was Electron Blue.. its a beautiful color.. especially in the sunlight... so it would be my first choice,, LeMans Blue is also very nice.. a deep blue color .... so its running a real close second... either of them would be a great choice...

You need to look at some nassau blue cars before you decide. The last year available is 2000. They are hard to find. Ijust picked up a 99 with 9900 miles. I absolutly love the color.

A grey interior looks great with any of the blue colors.

Another vote for Nassau Blue. They aren't the rarest C5 color, but they are one of the rarest. Pictures truly don't do them justice.

Personally, I hate the Nassau Blue. But Navy Blue Metallic is by far the best blue out there. I love it and haven't regretted it since. Navy Blue Metallic all the Way!!!!!!

But Nassau Blue is so gorgeous! Many people have yet to see one up close...take a look at both in person...
