C5 Blue
Need some help. I am looking at colors for my 65. It is currently dark blue metallic. I see two C5 colors on the internet. Lemans Blue and Electron Blue. They look like the same color? Are they? Thanks

Electron Blue is more of a light powderish blue....LeMans Blue is the Blue currently used on the C6's but looks better on the C5's --- only was used for one yr on the C5's --- comm. edition, I have one and love the way the sun sets it off!!!!! Dark Navy Blue is super dark and was only used 1 or 2 yrs on the earlier C5's I believe 
If you do the LeMans blue do a light interior really sets it off!!!! Do some research on the Commemorative Edition Corvette circa 2004!!!!! Good Luck!!!

I believe there were a total of 4 blue colors on the C5 and a 5th color that was called radar blue but actually looked purple and was only on the 98 pace car.
97-2000: Nassau Blue - Lightest
98-2001: Navy Blue - 4th Lightest
02-2003: Electron Blue - 2nd Lightest
2004: LeMans Blue - 3rd Lightest
Heres my Nassau:

I've got an 03 EB coupe, and for me, it was the color I had to have. The first time I saw it on an 02, I was hooked on it. However, since you have a 65, why would you want a color that wasn't available that year? In the Black Book, it says Nassau Blue was the most popular color in 65(6022) compared to 3782 Glen Green cars.Nassau Blue is really nice too.For some reason,I always feel that cars painted a color that wasn't available for that year just don't look right. Go with the Nassau Blue.
