I'm pretty sure that Mulsanne Blue and the 1969 shade of LeMans Blue are the same shade. I remember reading somewhere that it was renamed to avoid confusion with the Pontiac model of the same name.

I wonder if GM is also discontinuing Opulent Blue on Cadillacs, since it's the same color as Admiral Blue. My AB build sheet says "Opulent Blue"....

Going back to the leak last fall the 2 new colours were Rhythm & Blue. Probally a bright blue. Dark Shadow Metallic was the other new colour, maybe metallic black.

Yes, and yes.

The “new” blue for 2019 is what’s called Laguna Blue Tintcoat pictured below at the Griots flagship store in Tacoma the other day. I just “happened” to be there and spotted it.

"Dark shadow metallic" Maybe an option to get the whole car done in Carbon Flash?

I've liked this Jaguar Blue color since it first came out a couple years ago....still would like to see GM go in this direction for the Corvette. With the right wheels and calipers it's simply stunning....

We know.

I was just messin’ around a little. I posted that because I’ve heard lots of Corvette guys saying how they wished that color was still produced. 2016 was the last year...that’s what I have.

Actually Laguna Blue came out in 1966; however, it was a lot darker than the Laguna Blue in 2014. I like the LB color in the C-7's much better; however, if you gave me a 1966 LB I would gladly take it.
