You can't rely on the name, the paint code is the only way to tell.
There is a factory Lemans blue on an old Vette that looks nothing like the blue on the 04 CE, and the 04 CE blue was renamed from Luxo Blue Metallic.

the C3 LeMans is actually a little different from the C5's
both are there will be a 69 LeMans C3 on the fall foliage run.
I believe the LeMans is a $350 option on the C6
I like the rare navy on 98-01 C5's as well, only 14 made in 98

Wow, looks good it must be the Meguiar's NXT. I just thought there is only one blue and some had better shine to it. Oh well now I know.
