Default LeMans blue

Anyone heard any rumors on this color coming back? Best looking color on the Z06 IMO.

Gorgeous color I agree but Laguna blue is real close so it would have to replace it.

Sorry, but Lemans Blue and Laguna Blue are not even close in color. GM could definitely have the two colors available to order since they're so different in hue.



Lemans Blue C6Z.









Laguna Blue C7Z.

I also like Lemans blue. From the pictures, Laguna blue looks closer to Jet Stream blue.

My daughter just bought a Chevy Sonic, and it's the EXACT same color as my Lemans Blue Z. The color of her car is called Blue Topaz Metallic, so at least GM still has it around....Maybe some day!

Lemans Blue would look great on the new Z06!

Lemans Blue was one of my favorite Corvette colors. Would love to see GM bring it back for the C7, especially on the C7Z. Id also really like to see Supersonic Blue come back as well.

As a side note, I really would like a matte color like grey or black.
I think it would complement the aggressive bad a$$ look of the new stingray.

Sorry, but that is one fad I cannot jump on board with. There are VERY FEW cars that can pull that look off, and most modern cars cant, IMO. The only true cars that can pull off the "matte" or "primer" look are Rat Rods and older cars from the 30's-60's. Again, my opinion.

CLS63 Alanite Matte

Could my CLS change your opinion (11.1 sec 1/4 mile as a side note)? The Viper has a similar color and it is stunning. Lambos and Bentleys also have amazing matte colors.
OP: I apologize for diverting your thread.

I also think that Laguna blue depending on the light still look pretty close to Leman Blue



Laguna Blue Z06

Nothing about a 4 door Benz Sedan will side track a Z06 thread.

Without seeing all of the colors in person, the Laguna Blue, Jet Stream Blue and LeMans Blue look about the same. All great colors. Will have to say the Blue really stands out from all the White, Black, Red an Silver cars on the road.

Nope. You need false, interior, light to even get close and the shading has to be perfect. Laguna Blue has been side by side with my Z and it is very bright with LeMans having deeper, darker blue hue.

I pray to the car gods that GM comes out with LeMans Blue for the C7. The Blue Topaz Metallic is pretty much identical so I really don't care what they call it as long as its that hue.
