according to the 2019 sales brochure there’s only one blue and it’s Admiral I didn’t knew about Elkart Lake.

that could be true. In my search I didn't rule out the Experimental and Captured Test Fleet cars. When I did I got 46. They can't be separated in the search but I bet your number includes the CTF and not the experimental cars. I'm not sure if the experimental cars could be sold to the public.

They changed a couple of colors early on in the 2019 ZR1's model run. Admiral was replaced with ELB, and Watkins Glen Gray was replaced with Shadow Gray Metallic. Making those Admiral and Watkins Glen cars super rare.

You may be able to tell by the last 4 of the VIN. It looks like the last car with Admiral Blue is 0903.

Update: It is Shadow Gray Metallic, VIN is 1133, ad says SGM. There were 185 SGM built. Here is a link to the details on the Corvette Action Center. Link here. It is a nicely optioned car. It has the performance intake which is fairly rare and has blue stitching and calipers, ZTK and 3ZR. Comp seats would have been nice as people seem to want those. The front canards are missing. Some people didn't install them and they may be with the car.

Mine is shadow gray but has never cast that much of a blue tint. I think the camera didn't have the white balance adjusted before the picture. Even looks like the wheels picked up a little bluish tint.

Admiral Blue ended right before mine was produced. I was considering Laguna but it would have been a longer wait to get.
A friend had a shadow gray that cast blue in certain lighting.
