Default Elkhart Blue has arrived! Comparison photos to Laguna/Admiral/Jetstream Blues

Our first Elkhart Lake Blue Corvettes have arrived! This blue looks great in person and as you can see below it is a few shades darker than Laguna Blue. We have a GS and Z51 coupe in stock now, plus 2 Z06s, 1 GS, and 1 Z51 Convertible incoming and available! You can view our website for the details on those or send me a message!

Thanks for the post. Laguna Blue is still my favorite especially in bright sunlight.

Thanks for the comparison. It looks like Laguna Blue is a little lighter than the Elkhart Lake Blue. Both great colors.

THANKS for the GREAT comparisons of blue's......... We really miss our Laguna Blue ( Warble car buyback) and replaced it with Arctic white as we didn't care for the Admiral Blue.

Too bad it wasn't a sunny, bright day...... but I get it, it's Up State NY....... may not be sunny again until May..... LOL.....

I still think my JSB C6 was the best looking Corvette I've ever owned.... and the color was a big part of that.

Nice comparison of the 4 blues.

What caught my eye as well was all the Vettes are at the main store? Are you guys re-doing the Vette showroom down the road?

As was said at the bash Elkhart Lake Blue is slightly darker than Laguna Blue. I think these pics confirm that.
