[cubby558]

My bad--I forgot the '08 & '09 color changed from the previous year. Thanks, Bruce.

'04 & '05--Crimson Pearl
'06 & '07--Infrared
'07--Pasion Red (Limited Production 250)
'08 & '09--Crystal Red

There are 4 reds for the XLR

The 08-09 red is Crystal Red

The color in posts 6 and 7 is Elektra. AFAIK, it's identical to the Jetstream Blue used on the same year ('08-'09) Corvettes. The difference is lighting, cameras and camera settings. Those are '08's, and there were only 79 painted that way, iirc, with 32 in '09.

Similarly, Xenon Blue, the blue predominantly used from 04-07, is identical to the Le Mans Blue as used on Corvettes. Xenon Blue is markedly darker, and can look almost navy under diffuse lighting.

The term 'bluestream' generally seems to be used is on production data, and raw paint. I'm not sure it appears in the actual car literature, but it may.

Basically, except for some colors that aren't used on vettes, like Steel City, the colors usually tend to correspond to whatever was sprayed on vettes produced in the same model year.
