Colour is the same

Name's change but the code is the key...

There is another post here somewhere but the only unique colours to Corvette for 2006 are

V Yellow
DSOM
Arctic White ( if white chan be considered unique)

Thats it

DSOM has been available as a Pontiac color and as a Hummer color in recent years, same code, different names.

Tell you what: The Chevy Impala I was driving alongside today might have been Lemans Blue. Altho in certain light it looked too purple - mightve been the rainy overcast. I own LMB C6 and never noticed the color looking quite like that.
Paint code is 19 - anyone know if Chevy is using this color on the two models?

DSOM is 71U. I think in 03 hummer had a run at that - but not in 05 or 06.

Also, on the new 06 gto the brazen orange is not DSOM - it's something ilke 66U. Point is the paint codes used in other GM lines aren't the same as corvette; which I learned the hardway the other night when I found 71U for the 06 GTO; but it's red not orange.

LeMans blue is also known as Luxo blue.
