Default Official Night Race Blue thread

Noticed a few colors missing in the official color sticky threads so I thought I'd start NRB. Since getting mine 3 weeks ago I now see how this color is one of three depending on lighting. Metallic blue with lots of flakes in bright sunshine, Midnight blue on cloudy days and almost black at night. Loving my car's different personalities

Love the color. My convertible is on order, NRB with black top and interior. I'm going with the stock silver wheels to brake up all the black.

Love the color......very nice!!!!! I'm old and think the car would be improved with chrome wheels. (Really hate to say anything at all negative about your car......it's really beautifull)

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!

After seeing a NRB C7 with a 3LT Kalahari interior in person I think this combination was designed specifically for each other.

It deserves a triple

NRB Z51 3LT with Kalahari interior. Gotta see it up close and in the sun to really appreciate the color.

Love the NRB, I have a 13 Z06 in that color.
Wife wants a NRB vert with the Kalihari interior & top.

Not the best interior shot but the color is nice and helps offset all the dark colors.
