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 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.
