My salesman had me come down today to look at an Admiral Blue Z06. It was beautiful, as good as I had hoped. First it was sunny out, as I approached the car it had a dark purple-blue shade to it. The closer I got the metallic really glistened. Due to the great curves of the C7 widebody the color changes as you walk around it. Admiral Blue, I'm sold!
Looks great, I have not seen one in person, But the more I see in these pictures the more I like, I am going today to swap out my Shark gray for a Long Beach Red Metallic, The dealership has a Admiral Blue once I see it I may change my mind? This Z looks great.
Everyone will have their own opinion on colors and how their own eyes see and appreciate the color/colors in different lighting etc. With that said, I loved my C6 Jet Stream Blue and many seemed to agree. I took my TR Z to the dealer today and saw the new AB vette. To me, the color is purplish in the dealership lighting. It seems from the pics in the thread that it may lose the purple tinge in cloudy skys and different angles. I would not order any car unless you see the color in person... just my .02. Cheers!
Thank you for the pictures. Now that I'm done creaming my pants... I can type again. I'm an owner of a C6 LeMans Blue, so this just makes me happy.
I'm so glad to see this color "back" after the abysmal Jet Stream Blue in 2008. Laguna Blue was OKAY but to have labeled it as a premium paint and charge more? Hah! No thanks. Night Race Blue was just... no. Just no.

I actually didn't mind NRB. If I had to choose between NRB and Laguna I would've went with NRB. Here's another video:
I recently purchased an Admiral Blue Z06 from Mike Furman at Criswell (thanks again Mike!) and thought I'd start up an official Admiral Blue thread to kick off what is an absolutely stunning color. Backstory - I manage the RoadRunner Auto Transport account here on Corvette Forum and frequenting the forum made me realize how amazing the C7 really is! It really lead to my decision to buy a Corvette for my personal business RTI Marketing, which is why I decided to make my own account to show the car.
Here's a 360 degree video of the car to help show the different shades in the sunlight (be sure to watch in the highest quality for best results-1440s):

Looks great! Reminds me based on the photos a lot of Lemans Blue offered on a C6 that was always a great and very popular color.
