Default Anyone seen the new vette blue?

I keep getting people to have me go with Electron Blue but its a bit dark. Has anyone seen the new special vette blue? Is it lighter?

Right now im at WRX Blue Pearl with Spiral Grey stripes..

Any pics of the new vette?

TIA

Didn't find anything you could really get a good look at the color though.

I like it. But I wouldn't do stripes, I think it'd look cleaner w/o IMO. I'd pick the Chevy color over the Ricer color. :p

I believe the new Vette color is a bit lighter than Electron Blue. either way, it looks great on that C5. I like the stripes and carbon fiber hood.

Ricer color??? LOL.. how can a color be "rice"?? :p

I like it but I would have to see it in person.. how long before they are out?

The caddy color was nice in the sun but (like electron blue) was pretty dark in the shade. Im sure I will figure it out in the next few weeks..

in the pics it looks darker than the old school lemans blue.. hmmm

I know this is a stretch, but have you seen the '02 Dodge Ram P/U with the Medium Blue (Atlantic Blue Pearl). Possibly too light for you, but it is a stunning color.

Oh, trying to pic what shade of blue is like being invited to the playboy mansion and being told you can pic only ONE bunny (out of dozens) to take home.. - They all look sooooo good!

So start at one end of the spectrum and fade it to the other over the length of the car. Thats a good way to get a 1,000,000 hr paint job.

That is teh ghey!!!11eleven

How about Public Bathroom Blue? Seems to be popular with the import crowd.

I personally would go with the blue off the G35 coupe. VERY nice color! Though Primer Pink is a close second.
