Electron Blue vs. Le Mans Blue!

What about Nassau Blue !!!!!!!!!

My vote for a Blue is Nassau Blue. Of over 248K C5's built only 1039 coupes were Nassau Blue like the one sitting snow bound in my garage. :-(
Even fewer hard tops were built in this color, and about 2,100 roadsters.

I would post a Pic if I knew how to.

Hi To All,
I bought the EBM because it was the only blue availible. I did see EBM up close and personal at a local Chevy Dealer and was sold on it. With the LO interior, mine is a "rare" Vette indeed.

Lemans Blue?

In 1969 I ordered a new Z28 Camero in Lemans Blue. I wonder if the color is the same today as it was in 69. Pretty car - I ordered it with the ram induction hood, black interior and w/o the stripe package. Very fast car - but then I was a little faster in those days as well.

Hi Folks -

I went with EB....

When I saw the first pre-production 2002 Z06, it was EB and that was all she wrote - Had to have one.

best regards -

Nope, not the same. The LeMans Blue on Corvettes now is much darker than the '69 Z/28.:cool

I agree with the Nassau Blue posting. Looks more like the 69 Leman's shade, which is brighter than the modern Lemans. The brighter colors show off the curves better.
When I repaint my 1969 convertible again, it will be 99 Nassau blue.

I got a very late build Comm. Ed. 6 speed convertible, and it was delivered on May 5th, 2004. I offered to pay any extra price to have it painted in Electron Blue. No luck - the LeMans blue looks great, but it shows "stuff" on it pretty easily and is a shade too "purple". Still, an incredibly awesome car - I love it

If I was to buy blue, it would be Electron Blue!

Yes, I am biased, I love Electron Blue.

I like Electron Blue!


Why did I buy it? It was the nicest color as far as I was concerned. When I bought my C5 the dealer had every available color in stock, so I had them all to chose from. EB it was.

Millenium Yellow and Torch Red where the other choices before narrowing it down (after 3 hours on the dealers lot) to Electron Blue and driving it home.

I love my Z16 LB

CE LB Z16 hands down.

Initially, I wasn't too crazy about the LB when I first brought my 04 CE coupe home. I really wanted a 2003 Annie but the time wasn't right back then. Still, I loved the shale interior so when the time was right, the only exterior color choice being offered with the shale interior was on the Comm Ed, which only came in LB. So be it. However, everybody comments on how nice the car looks (blue/shale). It's even grown on me, purple haze and all.

I was a Torch Red guy until I saw the first Lemans Blue. CE coupe won me over!
