Depending on MY, it's either Laguna Blue or Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic.

Depends on the year. First there was Laguna Blue, then Admiral Blue, then in 2019 Elkhart Lake Blue. My guess would be Laguna Blue. Admiral Blue is a bit darker.

It's Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic which, when side-by-side, looks a little darker/deeper than Laguna Blue. Chevy introduced ELBM in the 2019 MY, producing 2166 C7s in that color.

My point was that, as I said previously, the car pictured in the OP's post might be Laguna or Elkhart.

I don't think the 2019s had chrome wheels, The 2014 did.

Not sure about the wheel design, but pg 35 of the 2019 Corvette Brochure shows "19" x 8.5" Front and 20" x 10" Rear Aluminum Torque Directional Wheel in Chrome" (emphasis added) as available for the Stingray.

This is a 2014 Chrome wheel


The bottom picture is my 2014 with the other chrome wheel offered in 2014

Here's a close up of my wheel.

Well, if it helps, here’s my 2014 Laguna Blue with what appears to be the same wheels and center caps.

I can't guarantee with 100% certainty which blue that is.

However, I can guarantee with 100% certainty which blue that it is not. It is not Admiral Blue.






...ask me how I know!

DERP!
