ELB is closer to my '03 Z's Electron Blue than to LeMans Blue. The LeMans is more toward the red part of the spectrum, whereas the ELB looks more toward the green - hard to judge without both vehicles being in front of me.

Man that's a good looking car... I'm set on Rapid Blue, but wish it were a metallic.

My old 68 Big Block in Lemans Blue. Somewhat similar. Depends on the light.

Disagree... that's substantially lighter than ELB. That looks more like C5 Nassau Blue.

Curious, are those wheels on the ELB show car the Sterling Silver trident wheels or the Machined face Spectra Gray trident wheels. They look too light to be one but too dark to be the other.

Would love to see the return of Lemans Blue or Admiral Blue.

If not, Torch Red for me.

Such a striking color. I saw a similar ZR-1 in a dealer last week.

Helped me finalize my choice. Team ELB!

I would love an Adminral Blue or Lemans Blue. Bit biased towards Lemans Blue heh. I'd still take ELB in a heartbeat.

These colors are totally different. Which one is it really? Going with ELB, but only if it is like the last 2 pics.

I wonder if it is Blue Nethuns on Huracan. That is a great color.
