I agree, its really hard to go wrong with any of these colors, the C7 is such a great looking design which helps all paint choices. I wish I could deal with a louder color like yellow or the awesome orange. Kept mine low key w WGG.

Zero regrets on my choice for my Grand Sport.

The different colors of the metal flake in the paint is crazy!

So far out of 90+ posts in this thread, there has only been one other NRB.....not a typical color that's for sure. It's good to be different.
Beautiful....

The color shift is why I love the Navy Blue Metalllic on my C5, and NRB was high on my list for the 7.
Unfortunately, never got to see it in person, and didn’t want to buy it blind, so to speak.

I will say I seriously regret not getting a clear bra. Paint on these cars sucks.

It looks great, is easy to maintain and is stands out from the large number of red, black and white corvettes that I see.
Yellow Corvettes Unite ! I love my CRY 2016 Z06.

No regrets, had other colors reds, silver, metallic grays and this by far pops.I get many compliments on this color.. This is my 6th and last vette being retired now. Lots of miles and smiles.

My current one is pretty much wrapped in a condom (XPel Ultimate). When my on-order GS gets here, so will it

Sterling Blue Metallic was a one year 2017 color. Only 921 Corvettes were made in Sterling Blue with just 81 being Z06 coupes. I owned a black 2008 Z06 before I purchased this car new from a dealership's inventory last March. It is easy to keep clean and I get lots of compliments from people that tell me they have never seen one in this color. My wife wanted us to buy it as soon as she saw it. I have been to the track in Millville but have never run a car that I own on it.

That color was fantastic.
How does your GS have the metal "brace face" in front? My 2017 GS in the same color doesn't have that.

It's not a GS... You can see the guitar on the side as well...

...not to mention the ‘narrow-body’non-flared fenders and the Z51 style wheels...

At this stage in life, I don't have a single regret about the color of any of the dozen or so Corvettes I've owned. My only regret is that there just wasn't time for two dozen! I've had black ones, blue ones, white and silver. Loved them all!

This current Ceramic Grey Z06 is my favorite of all!

No regrets whatsoever. In fact bought me another Tacoma the other day almost the same color. Love Silver!
