I've been looking for the name of this color blue for some time and can't seem to pin point it. It is close to a lemans blue for the corvette, however the lemans blue for the corvette is a bit darker. The viper blue for dodge is also darker than this as well. Anyone?

Camaro LeMans blue is lighter, like my car is. Although it's hard going by a picture, as mine looks a little different in person.

Just because it is on a 69 does not mean it is a 69 color. The only way to truly know would be to ask the owner. My first guess would be Lemans Blue though it looks a little dark in the picture.

The dark 69 blue was called Dusk Blue, not even close to this one.
The 69 in the o.p. looks lighter and brighter than Le Mans blue, which mine is too: Le Mans Blue Camaros
