Help me choose shade of blue

I want to get my Camaro painted since the Medium Quasar Blue is getting old to me (current blue can be viewed if you click the signature below).
I want a more darker shade of blue. I'm thinking about something like LeMans Blue Metallic, Midnight Blue Metallic or Navy Blue Metallic. I've seen a lot of pics with NBM on LS1 cars, so I got quite an idea about how this color looks on an Fbody. What I'm looking for now are some pictures of LeMans Blue or Midnight Blue on an LT1 camaro. Does anyone have some pics of these colors on an LT1 ??
Also, if you have other suggestions on dark blue tones your very welcome to give me new ideas.

Thanks,
Alex

There is a blue they use on the C6. It's like NBM, but a bit brighter. If I were repainting my Z, I would use that color. I think it's awesome.

I think a Navy Blue with a hint of metallic would look very nice on your car!

On the ebay listing for that SS, the guy said he had it repainted midnight blue which was a rare color option.

Re: Help me choose shade of blue

Thanks for you opinion everyone, I really like the midnight blue so I think I'm gonna go with that one. Does anyone have a color code for it ?
The only thing useful I found is a Porsche color code, since porsche uses this color on their 996 series. 996Turbo in Midnight Blue .... Boxter in Midnight Blue .... what do you guys think ? Is it the same Midnight Blue as that Fbody in the upper pics ?


94Z28WP ... do you still have the link to the ebay listing or some more maybe bigger pics of that SS ?

BTW... how do you all like that Ocean Blue
