Question What color is this and this color or black? Opinions plz!

Ok guys, I should hopefully be getting my car painted this week or next week. I can't decide on what color to go with. I found this picture around the forums and I really liked this color but not sure of what it is? So what do you guys think is better, the blue, or go black. It will be on Chrome ZR1's with a LT1 SS hood.

Or Black (with ss hood)

Black is, in my opinion, the best color for a car. Although when you take into consideration how often you have to wash it to make it look good (I have a long dirt driveway).....I just might go with the blue.

dude go blue... let me tell you how bad i cant wait to rebuild my car so that i can change the color from black... its such a pain... and if your car isnt fresh like mine isnt it shows every little imperfection on the car and annoys the hell outa me... now blue is still pretty dark but you wont see swirls as much... plus black is soo boring... do somthing different... my vote is blue

Black with chrome ZR1s is just pure greatness... but its not original as the blue. so it comes down to if you want a somewhat original color or a color that everybody and their mother has and is a bitch to keep clean/swirl free.

but dont get me wrong black is the $h!t but the pollen just wont stay off it...

Wow, great opinions here! Thanks all! See I was going to go black until I saw that picture, it made me second guess my decision quick. I thought it was darker than medium quasar blue too, but I guess not, maybe it's the lighting. I think I'm going to go with the blue though.... How do I explain it to the painter? Just tell him the name? Or is there a code I could tell him to make it exact?
