I guess I will play devil's advocate...the color itself is a pretty blue but it just doesn't blow my skirt up for a "supercar"...more generally I am a little bit disappointed that GM didn't reach a little higher with their paint colors for the C8; the yellow is green and pretty much hideous and even the specialty blue and the sebring orange aren't very vibrant colors...didn't mean to rant but the colors are one of the issues I have with the C8; if I buy it will be a 3LZ car spider so I want paint that screams high end. Right now if I was buying it would be a torch red. Hoping the Z cars have some other paint options.

I know there aren't many ELB C8's out there but it sure would be nice if their new owners would post some pics.

Thanks I had seen this post but I was hoping owners would use the C8 Official Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic color thread instead of posting individually.

I was sooo close to ordering mine with black interior, yellow stitching, belts, and calipers.
The Valentino Rossi look!
Alas, I went with Edge Red and Red belts.

Even the red interiors would suit this color well. The darker red is classy, and the adrenaline red with blue belts is straight Superman.
I'd love to see a photo of it with the dipped dark Morello Red interior.

This looks very similar to what they called Mulsane Blue back then. Both really nice colors.

This is the only photo I have found of the convertible. Hope to see more before mine arrives in November.
