That's what the kids call my Xterra.

Then I remind them that I never had anything like that when they were growing up because I spent all my money on THEM.

I had a 1969 Corvette that same color. Then...it was called, "Bridgestone Blue." My Dad purchased a new Impala in 1970 and was that color and THAT color was called "Marina Blue." Go figure.

Did/does Corvettes have a different name for their colors than Chevy's cars?

Is that white stripes on the front fenders or some kind of reflection or camera lens weirdness?

Way back in school a friend of mine also had a blue '69 Corvette 427 ci /429 hp.
That was one fine car. If I remember right, he said it got about 7 miles to the gallon. Of course, gas was only 30 cents so it wasn't that bad.
Yes, those are stripes on the fenders and they call this color "hyper blue metallic".
