It is supposed to change with the way light hits it. I like the "ad" pic but not the aqua looking fender...

And/Or (added) Navy Blue Metallic that color hasn't been used since '01 I had one and it is a classy color.

That "catalog" shot looks terrible. Makes the color look like pastel blue . The photo looks a lot like Nassau Blue from the early C5 years.

Let's see if I can help here Rick. I had the opportunity to go with Dave Hill on a mission to compare the panel to Nassau Blue and LeMans Blue. Here is the result:







and of course, just my Panel shot.



I have similar shots of the Crystal Red up against a Monterey Red coupe as well for your red thread.

I really like it. If I buy another C6 it will be Jetstream Blue.

I think Nassau Blue was a great color and I think the new Nassau Blue (Jetstream) will look great on the C6. I predict it will not sell as well as LMB which also looks great.
The new leather wrap colors though, thats another story.
