Nice car, but Luxo Blue was not a C6 color. LeMans Blue and several others were available.

Luxo is the color my paint guy put on the label of my touch up based on the paint code (OEM code 19). Here is my 2006 Lemans Blue aka Luxo...

Factory and retailers had some different names for some colors. Color code 19 is for LeMans Blue.

I like that shade of blue better than I do the lighter shades that came later.

Agreed. My two Chevelles were LeMans Blue. My favorite color of all time. They bring it back, and I may have to up my year.

when I ran my vin # it said luxo blue. And around 2000 were painted that color. When I ordered chip paint, I ordered luxo blue. I have seen some web sites that don't list that color. Go figure!

Reread post no. 4 above.

Look at the sheet that came off the windshield of the car when it was new and sitting on the dealer's lot. I doubt that it said Luxo Blue.

Look at the Corvette Black Book. It doesn't list a Luxo Blue.

Look at the attached pic from the 2005 Order Book.

One more time.

The colors available in 2005 were as follows:

Paint number / RPO code / Actual paint name / common name

WA301N / 80 / Red Jewel Met Exterior / Monterey Red

WA379E / 86 / Red Tint Coat Met Exterior / Magnetic Red

WA423G / 79 / Yellow Tintcoat Exterior / Millenium Yellow

WA300N / 45 / Velocity Yellow Exterior / Velocity Yellow

WA633H / 71 / Sunset Orange Met Exterior / Daytona Sunset Orang Met

WA8555 / 41 / Black Exterior / Black

WA9260 / 74 / Victory Red Exterior / Victory Red

WA933L / 19 / Luxo Blue Met Exterior / LeMans Blue Metallic

WA994L / 67 / Lt Tarnishd Slvr Met Exterior / Machine Silver

WA946L / 27 / Cobalt Red Exterior / Precision Red

WA9567 / 10 / Arctic White Exterior / Arctic White

talon90

2/5/10
Most people don't use the Actual Paint Name, they use the Common Name.

I had a Precision Red, a Monterey Red, and a Machine Silver.
