[ZR1] New Blue 2012 Caught on Car Hauler Carlisle Blue!
C6 Corvette ZR1 & Z06General info about GM’s Corvette Supercar, LS9 Corvette Technical Info, Performance Upgrades, Suspension Setup for Street or Track
Man, that is horrible. This is the Corvette version of a Mary Kay car. Well that makes it easier for me to figure out what I need to stock in this color for painted parts, nothing
P.S. Many thanks to Les Stanford for posting.

Man I was all set to pull the trigger on a GS 'Vert in this "new blue", as rumor had it that it was the blue from the Pontiac pallette called IMPULSE BLUE . Well I looked that one up and sure enough it looked pretty darn good ! It was a darker blue than JSB and thought " yep time to make my move " ! Then the pic of the rear fascia appeared at the bash and I felt like OMG please say this is a joke, it can't be right ! Now this pic of the whole car just confirms it. Well I should be elected to President of the Blues Bros. Club because I don't buy unless it's blue ! So despite what you may think they do NOT offer any blues on Corvette for 2012. PERIOD !
Actually I kind of like it. A lot of women may like it. Maybe that's why GM brought it out. Probably figured they had enough "manly" colors already. Sorry to see the jetstream blue go. Love that color, even though I have a torch red 10 GS & a monterrey red 06 C6. Almost went with the jetstream blue color when I bought my 08Z( went with victory red).
I've often referred to JSB as "Smurf Blue". A buddy of mine topped that with the new one when he saw it. He said, "Eek. My Little Pony Blue?"
I like it. I'm now going to refer to this abomination of a color as MLP Blue.

The issue with JSB is the mirrors that come in a slightly different shade which really looks cheap on a 100K car. The lighter blue is easier to match. I agree though that Lemans blue is a stud. And yes guys go out and check the mirror match on JSB if it is perfect, ptl.
I like the Carlisle Blue. There, I said it. Chrome or polished wheels, lighter interior. Leave the black headlights off.
Its a color one would see on an older Giugario designed car like the 80s VW Scirocco, or on an old pinanfarina car. Or a classic Stingray.
The lines would show very well on a car like the C6 corvette, with its subtle curves and sculpting. In the sun I bet it would look awesome with that color combo
