All those medium metallic blues look the same to me, some lighter some a little darker.

Still a big fan of Laguna Blue here. Goes way back to the first few years of the C3's first few years of the similar Blue. Never be a prettier Blue to me.👍

Looks just like LMB to me.





It would be cool to see both side-by-side.

I could be wrong, but were they all side by side, I feel like the darker Lemans Blue would look closer to Admiral than Elkhart Lake.

I'm a bit partial to the darker blues such as the Admiral Blue.

I just googled it, and the GM site shows it as a much lighter blue, but not as warm a color as Laguna Blue.

The photos of the panels GM displayed at the Bash, when held up to a current Laguna Blue C7, looked nearly identical...ELB may be 5% darker in those photos.

It'll be a good opportunity for those who missed getting a Laguna Blue C7 to get one now...hopefully without the $1,000 upcharge Laguna Blue had. Hopefully if/when I'm ready to buy another Corvette, there will be an Admiral Blue/Le Mans Blue color available for me, as I miss it from my former C6z.

Thanks. I was concerned about Kalahari working well with the Laguna Blue, so I made a trip to a dealer specializing in Corvettes to take a look at that specific combination before I ordered. I am happy with how it turned out, and the combination gets a lot of compliments. I was bored with black only interiors, since I've had that for years in other cars.

ELBM is a standard color so there is no $995 charge

(sold my 2014 Laguna Blue Z41 for my ordered 2019 ELBM GS . The two colors are indeed very very close)

You are correct...Admiral Blue is closer to Lemans Blue.

Agree! Nearly impossible to tell the difference otherwise. Although the Elkhart Blue appears to be very slightly darker. I will definitely be ordering an Elkhart Blue within next few months -just waiting to see if any year end offers as don't' intend to really drive the car until early spring on the east coast.. In the meantime, only deciding on either Kalahari or Grey interior. A few postings earlier on this thread had a beautiful photo of Laguna Blue with Kalahari interior and it seems a perfect match. Noticed your posted photo seemed to have a grey interior and the little of the interior that is visible in the photo looks also a fantastic combination. Any chance you would be able to post a more complete shot of the interior of your carr? Would be most appreciated.

Beautiful color but I'll keep my Admiral Blue. Have a great day!

I posted pics of Admiral Blue and Lemans Blue when AB first came out. I will have to dig in the archives to find the pics.

Took this last June when I met a guy at the mall. My AB and his LB. Quite a difference.

Nice Ken! Anyone else heard anything? My car was built on the 11th and another person I know as well, both ELBM Z06 and both of our cars are still sitting at the plant. Got my dealer to hook me up with OnStar and see it on the GPS there, kinda shows it inside middle of the building but I've read it doesn't work well there for some reason? It also shows 4 gallons of gas, 32 psi in all 4 tires and 28 miles on the car.....so I'm guessing it was a quality audit car. But it's not moved or anything in over 24 hours now since I got access. Car is coming to Raleigh, NC, so maybe there just aren't enough cars coming this way yet? Waiting to see if the status code has changed again, too. Last I got work it was still at 3800. Anybody else have any news on cars built in the last couple of weeks????
