Vette(s):
SOLD - "The Toy" - '70 Convertible
SOLD - "The Beast" - '90 ZR-1 (#682)
SOLD - "Betty" - '28 Ford Model A Tudor
SOLD - "BLKBRRD" - '78 Pontiac Trans Am
"BLUBYU" - '04 Coupe

According to the Corvette Black Book (1953-2013 Edition) there were several exterior blue paint codes used during the C5 run:

  • 23 - Nassau Blue Metallic (1997, 1998)
  • 23 - Nassau Blue ( 1999, 2000) * same code, but different description - same actual color?
  • 28 - Navy Blue Metallic (1998)
  • 28 - Navy Blue (1999, 2000, 2001) ** same code, but different description - same actual color?
  • 21 - Electron Blue (2002, 2003)
  • 19 - Lemans Blue (2004)
Would anyone happen to know just how different the colors actually are? I know there is quite a difference between the Nassau Blues and Navy Blues but to the untrained eye how different are the Electron Blue and the Lemans Blue?

Hello Sir, I have a 2003 Electron Blue. My understanding is the Lemons is slightly lighter blue. I can send you a damaged front side spear for you to peruse if you want to see the color. OR, I can take a photo of any part you want and send it as well. Let me know. I'm willing to help. Mark.
