^^^ My mistake, Maybe it was Berlin blue. So that is night race blue?

See this thread" Body and Wheel Touch-Up Paint Codes. It has the common name and the alternate name for many of the colors. I really need to update the chart with 2016 and 2017.

Many assume that Corvette colors were new colors. Most, maybe all, were not.
Night Race Blue = Berlin Blue Metallic
Laguna Blue Tintcoat = Blue My Mind Metallic
Lime Rock Green Metallic = Unripened Green Metallic
Blade Silver Metallic = Switchblade Silver Metallic

VETJAZZ is correct. When a color has been or is currently being used on another GM vehicle, GM will change the announced name when using it as a Corvette color. On the build sheet, the original name for the color will be used. On my buyer's tour, the assembly line employees kept telling me how much they liked the color I chose (Admiral Blue). Of course, they referred to it as Opulent Blue, which is what is printed on the build sheets. Opulent Blue has been used by GM on Cadillacs for several years.

GM uses different names for the same paint code sometimes...
Imagine my surprise when I ordered touch-up paint for my 2016 Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic
and when it arrived the cans were marked "Orange U Tempted Metallic"!
