Default Night Race Blue

I may have missed it, but are there any pictures out there of a NRB car that is NOT a rendering? TIA.

Hey Bill, those pics, with the exception of the last one, are not NRB. They are CGM. I was also not sure if the were NRB as some of the shots, especially the second one, resembles NRB in an overcast type lighting condition.

that color is soo hard to understand in photos. in order to get a good feel you need to see it i daylight. there are a few good shots of it on c6 board, but not many. if you are considering it, you really should fing one in person.

Hi Bill, the first three pics are from the Chevy appreciation day at the Indy 500 on may 11th. The coupe outside is cyber gray, the color just looks off in these photos. I was there, spent lots of time checking out the car. Also owed a cg vert before, it's cg.
As for the C7 in CG..... it looks awesome

Default Nrb

Thanks for the muliple replys. On an earliery inquiery I got a reply that the car parked outdoors was Cyber Grey, and the blue "tint" was due to the sky reflection. Looking for a clear shot of a NRB car if there is one. THX.

Well I have a C6 GS NRB. All I can say is I even at times think it is black. If it is not in bright sun it is black.

I happen to be at a peoples choice car show this week where car colors were one of the categories. Couple of people asked me you sure it is blue??? It sparkles in the sun but an odd color.

Matches the black lower *** part and the vents and grill the best.

Nearly bought the NRB 427 Vert... harkens back to Midnight Blue which also looked black or very dark purple depending on the light... but this is such a nice color...first choice for me... interior TBD...
