With all the black accents this blue would look great.

Please GM do not replace AB with any more wimpy blues. Supersonic Blue
Carlisle Blue Sterling Blue Night Race Blue We need something along the lines of Electron Blue, Lemans Blue or Hyper Blue ( Camaro color) Make it a STRONG blue color please !

Yes the Camaro is too much like Laguna Blue. I'm betting it will be more like the Jag in post 33 or the Porsche in post 41.

The Camaro color is called Hyper Blue. Great color!

Gone, but not forgotten. My 2008 Z06 in Jetstream Blue. It was a color that got a lot of attention. This photo was in Little Rock, Arkansas on the way home from my museum delivery in the spring of 2008. Great car, great color.

I just hope it's a real blue, the way Electron Blue, C6 Le Mans Blue, C7 Laguna Blue and both Admiral Blues were. Supersonic Blue and Carlisle Blue were bluish grey and bluish silver, respectively.

I really like Admiral Blue. I'll pick one up second hand in a few years I guess.

My vote would be for Jetstream Blue. Loved that color.

Yes. A bright blue with metallic, maybe with more turquoise in the style of the new orange. Kind of "in your face".

I do like the Jetstream blue, but it is supposed to be a new colour.

Guess we will have to wait for the Bash to know for sure.

I'm going to the Bash just to see if they display the new blue. I sure hope they have it there.

A lighter metallic blue like some of those pictured would be really tempting to me . . .

I would love to see some hi impact blue like the Lambo Porsche BMW etc. Then

Follow it up with a green like again, the Lambo Porsche MB etc.

Why Admiral blue is going away is mind boggling...

Default New blue?

I know I have seen a thread where they were holding up a quarter panel of the new blue next to a laguna blue c7 and it was almost dead on

Not true, Admiral Blue is significantly darker and more "dull", has no "pop" like LeMans Blue had, it was MUCH prettier than AB.
