2015 Z51 NRB with exposed carbon roof, Brownstone interior and my alternate black wheels with Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R tires that I use for Autocross racing.
Love the color, photos do Not do justice to the depth of this color!
I love the machine faced wheels and the stripes. Glad to see someone else went with this look. I went with Cyber Gray stripes rather than the silver. They both look good.
I have a '15 NRB Coupe, and two of my oldest friends have a '14 Coupe and '16 Z vert., both NRB. I won't have any interest in seriously looking at new Corvettes unless they bring back NRB or Cyber Gray. Then...

I saw it for the first time in 1988 on C4 88' coupe.....had a LEMANS Blue C6....but I really am in love with this color on my C7.
Shame on GM for not keeping it as an option...maybe on the C8?
[QUOTE=Torque Obsessed;1594491157]I spent a solid week debating whether to buy a NRB C7 (vs other colors) and this thread convinced me. I want to thank all of you for posting so many great pics to show me how awesome NRB is. I absolutely love this color and am super excited to own it.
Now I'm experiencing the joy / agony of figuring out how to take pics of it. It's truly beautiful when it wants to be.
So far, based on trying different bulbs in my garage lights, it seems to prefer 5,000K (close to daylight) to show a true blue. Get too much higher or lower and all I see is blurple or blue-grey.
I picked up a used Nikon D7000 so I can try different settings to catch NRB in the act of actually being blue. I don't have a clue how to use it yet, but I'm hopeful.
Here's a few so far:
Couldn’t help but notice the Velocity Red RX-8 next to the NRB C7. I had one of those as well. Great handling and fun, although a bit finicky at times. Hated parting with it, but ran out of room.
I know exactly what you mean about taking pics of it. I shoot with a Canon 80D and here are a few of my opinions on it. (You know what those are worth) and a couple of pics.
It only looks AWESOME when the sun is directly on it and reflecting back at you. I tend to take pics of it at high noon, which is normally the worst time to take pics but it highlights to color best. Since it is dark beware of your reflection in the surface as well as lines such as on the road. I'm still working to perfect my technique.
I saturated this one a little bit. Car with stock wheels
For best pics, the way to light it up and show off the color is to park it next to a reflective window or building and let the sun do the work.
Then it's just a matter of controlling glare.

A friend has a 2013 GS in this color and your descriptions in different lighting are right on the money. I think the black wheels and red calipers really work great with your color. Beautiful Vette!
I thought my car late
in the day with really low light actually looked purple, so there's another shade for this color.
