its one of those colors that is really hard to see and like in photos. if you like the idea of a dark color, changing shades which sortof follow the sun, and lots of sparklies in the right light, it looks good. I wasn't sold on it looking at pictures on the web, but when I went to kerbeck to pick out my car, it just jumped out at me, and that was in late fall. it isn't for everyone, and honestly I wanted the orange but couldn't find one.

This is one color you really need to investigate. You need to see it in as many situations conditions as you can.
I have 13 GS NRB since November and every time I see the car it seems to have a different look.
One thing for sure there is a lot of flake in it. In the bright sun there is not a prettier color. I think it more forgiving then black and at times it does really look black especially if it gets dirty.

I think that would be a great, rich-looking combination.

NRB with Kalahari interior is what I was thinking of ordering and I really wanted to love the colour but I went to a dealer and saw the same paint code on a Cruze and was certainly not wowed by it. Now I see this thread and it looks great! ... Could it be that it's the same paint code, but not the same paint process, that gives a duller look to the Cruze? I have always read that NRB really pops in direct sun but it just didn't do that when I saw it in person on the Cruze. Does anyone know if the Corvette gets a better paint process, that results in the Corvette version of NRB "coming alive" more than on the Cruze.

I cannot comment on the paint methods, but I can comment on the NRB changing colors. In a non well lit environment it often looks like just dark blue or black. In better light it looks like carbon flash metallic, and in good sunlight it looks like a really nice metallic blue.
Since we all only drive our cars on nice weekends days, it will show best at those times. Sitting in the garage, not soo much.
You really should see it in person before deciding on this particular color.

Here's mine, love the color and the way it changes with the lighting. Mine was the first I saw in person and so I really didn't know how much I'd like the color till I saw her at the museum.
