Guys. Enough. Post once in a while, not every day. Please. It's annoying as sh*t and you're just going to turn off a LOT of people.

Not having the Admiral Blue, EL blue is my choice. IMHO, it makes for a stunning car!

I saw that color in person this last weekend and it became my favorite right away. But then I have always liked blue colors on cars.

Yes, later model 2019 Corvettes. It replaced Admiral Blue a few months after 2019 production started

So do the shots posted on the first page of this thread seem colour accurate to you? On first glance they look to me as if they have been too heavily HDR'd to be realistic.

If you want to see the color in person just look around autotrader for any 2019's in blue near you and go take a look.

Car looks really sharp in this color. I’m actually digging the wheels in these photos as well.

Forgot it was not a new colour....

The ELB C7 shots Google gives up show a darker more saturated blue. I much prefer the way ELB looks in the photo series above but doubt it's realistic.

It does indeed look that good! In fact this is the exact car I saw as those pics were taken at the Peterson museum. Especially the first pic with the sun reflection on the nose. It really does look like this in person and is a great color.

This sounds right.. I think it may take professional camera equipment like this video uses to actually capture something close to the in-person color.

I'm going to look at a 2019 that a dealer near me has shortly and see just how close it really is.

Did you watch the video yet? It gives you a good idea from different angles and in bright lighting:

If it looks like several different shades in this thread it's because the color really has that many different shades depending on the lighting.

Under soft florescent white lighting it looks like a softer powder blue similar to Estoril Blue from BMW. Then in other light it pops as a more vibrant darker blue. It's a very versatile color.
