It's not the same as the admiral blue that was on the C4. It is closer to LeMans Blue that was on the C5/C6.

This is from a thread over at the other place.

Not even close, but that's fine by me. Call it Lieutenant Blue or something, though.

Whoever named the new color Admiral Blue needs their ass kicked then.

New color looks nice & all. But the old Admiral Blue is still one of my all time favorite colors on a car.
