Default LeMans blue vs Electron blue

Is LeMans blue a different color than electron blue? My Z06 is electron blue (2002), is the LeMans blue different for the comemoratative edition?

Yes Lemans Blue is different than your Electron Blue. Lemans Blue is darker.

Lemans Blue is a comemorative color. If you see a comerorative anything, Z06, coupe, conv. its Lemans Blue. Its a one year only color for the C5.

True for the C5, however, it is now a regular color on the C6.

You have to look AROUND the girls, but they are sitting on an Electron Blue car, with a LeMans Blue car to the right.

Not sure if this link will work:

LeMans Blue in front, then three Electron Blues and on the end is a Nasseau Blue:

EDIT:

The direct link to the pix did not work.

Not to be a **** but thats why I said the C5 in my comment. Also since we were only talking about C5's and we are in the C5 section not the C6 section, thats why I didn't put C6 info.

For the gentalmen that asked Lemans Blue is almost a cross between
Navy Blue (99-2001) and Electron Blue (02,03)

Since the orignal poster might not have been aware I was just trying to clarify. Not because I didn't think you knew, but just in case someone else missed the subtlety of your post.

Didn't mean to mention C6 in any way while in the C5 forum. I didn't realise there were such strict restrictions.
