Biased as I may be, I definitely think it's one of the best colors for the C7. All the changes the color goes through really play wonderfully with all the curves and edges on the car.

Wow! I am really glad to have found this thread 2 days ago; it helped me decide on the color. Yesterday, I ordered my second C7 and this one will be NRB! Selling my Black/Black Z51 because I learned the M7 is not for me. Absolutely stoked now, after seeing the great pics here, about this color. One of the messages remarked about the purple tones, which I see too, and think that it is beautiful! One of my Harley friend's is a painter and had his bike with a color concoction of blue and purple that he called "Burple" that the NRB reminds me of. That was a great color on the bike and I'm counting down the days for delivery of the new C7 and the fantastic NRB!

Shows the purple hue that is definitely there in some sunny situations.

NRB with Brownstone interior. Doesn't quite do justice to the richness of this interior

Slightly different angle of the occasional purple hue. It can look black, very dark blue, sparkly graphite, etc. Chameleon Corvette Color?

Congratulations! Great photo's and angles. Build date on my NRB is w/o 21 July. I like the Brownstone, but stuck with the Black interior. You've got a beauty.

Thank you much. I've had a black interior - great and certainly less of a worry about cleaning than this baby. I hope the next few weeks fly by for you - all the best. Kevin

I'll be picking mine up at the museum on 7/30. My TPW is 7/14. NRB 3LT Z51 Coupe with other goodies. Can't wait.

I have had my NRB Coupe for 3.5 months, and the number of people who come up to me and say that it is the best color they have seen (and not just on the C7) is amazing.
I am generally happy with the color car I buy, but I can honestly say I am ecstatic that I chose NRB over Cyber Gray.

I've had mine since October and people continue to take photos and give favorable comments. My 2010 was CG and I wanted something different and NRB is outstanding.

My NRB Base Model, red calipers, chrome wheels, and jet black 3LT draws attention wherever I go. Every outing draws nods of approval and thumbs up from a variety of drivers. It was definitely the right color combination.

When I did a museum delivery, I had other folks doing their delivery at the same time, as well as folks just checking out the museum, saying NRB was the best color of the bunch. Didn't hurt that mine was right up front of the whole line-up!

A little fun out on an Adirondack Mountain road. Top off, sport mode, NPP rumbling.... Life's good in and NRB Stingray!
