Another thing to possibly consider is how motivated are you to keep NRB looking great? As some have said it is so close to black the time factor may come into play for you.
I ordered Cyber as a change from DSOM.

I havent seen both colors on a C7 but have on a C6.
I like NRB but when it catches the light from certain angles it gets a purple affect.
Not my Cup of tea.
CGM is one of my all time favorite Corvette colors - But I am biased.

It looked so different at the NYIAS that I had to ask the spokesperson if the C7 had the same formulation NRB as the C6 did (she didn't know).
Last summer, I was looking to trade in my LeMans Blue Metallic. When NRB came out, I really wanted to like it. I was ready to trade my car in for a 427 convertible, and I wanted the new car in blue.
I went down to Criswell to look at the NRB on a beautiful, sunny day.
I just about drove Mike Furman nuts.
When the sun came out, I loved it. The metal flake really popped. It was beautiful.
When a cloud passed by, it lost it. It looked very different to me. Not really blue, not really black. Not really doing it for me.
Of course, I was also able to see the NRB side by side with a Centennial black car, and a Spiral Gray which was near by. I ended up with my Carlisle Blue.
I hope you really like the NRB, but before you buy it, do yourself a favor, and look at it in natural light.

I saw NRB on a 2013 and I was disappointed. In the shadows looks like black gone bad. I'm still trying to decide on the exterior color. Hopefully the Carlisle show will have all the colors on display.

From the C7 pics I have seen so far, I preferred colors that are on the darker side. They seem to make the C7 look more stealthy/classy and also hide all the black vents somewhat more than the brighter colors. I do like some the brighter colors from most angles, but with that contrast on the rear end, I think it might get to me over time. CG, NRB, and Black were the 3 colors I am seriously considering. CG is definitely the safest color, as every other car out there seems to be some shade of gray/silver. I currently have a black Silverado right now so I also know the work it takes to keep black clean, but boy does it look good when it's all shined up.
As of now, I have decided on NRB to be a little different from the rest of crowd and maintain the dark look which minimizes the contrast. However, I will hopefully be able to see all these colors first hand on some C7s before finalizing my order.

Just recall seeing this poll here on CF. I do realize the poll is completely unscientific so you may be right.

I didn't say your chart was a fvcking poll. I said a poll was done here (unscientific poll) (if you know what that is) and it says of us here on CF that responded to the question, assuming truths were told, that NRB is not in the top of choices. Take your pill.

I've seen the NRB and for me it did not look good. From a distance I thought the car was black, a 'time for a carwash' black. Reminded me of flat black wheels with brake dust all over them. CG is the way to go, and you can choose all the same interior colors that would have matched well with the NRB. i've heard CG has some blue in it, so you may still get the mojo.
that's my impression of the NRB.Here's a picture of the NRB which looks incredible.
But, if it's not in Bright Light, it's too Dark.
From my experience I also like CG but I also think it looks better on the Wide Body C6 than the Non Wide Body C6.
As far as CG on the C7, I think the new design is perfect for CG and would be my choice over NRB.
Just my 2 cents for what it's worth
