ParticipantI bought a 2015 Corvette Coupe and it has a color code of GXH Berlin Blue and I can’t find it listed anywhere.
Does anyone know if this is a new color or do I have a one of a kind painted car? -

ModeratorThat’s interesting. Berlin Blue (or any blue for that matter) isn’t even on the changes/updates list for the 2015 Corvette:
http://gmauthority.com/blog/2014/06/2015-corvette-stingray-gets-8-speed-auto-new-colors-onstar-4g-lte-more-rpo-central/So it’s either a color that’s being added for the interim 2015 model year or something else entirely (like a unique color). Let us do some leg work on this and get back to you here.

Moderator@dutch No problem!
So, it seems like Berlin Blue for 2014s has turned into Night Race Blue Metallic for 2015s. It’s the same color with the same RPO code of GXH, but the name is different.

ParticipantHello,
According to a google search Berlin Blue is also known as Night Race Blue (see below)
From paintref.com
2013 GM Berlin Blue paint
This blue automotive paint color is most commonly known as Berlin Blue. Other common color promotional names include Blue Ray, Night Race Blue, Sapphire Blue, and Graphite Blue. The color formulation has been used between 2013 and 2015, primarily by GM. -

Moderator@jglyder that’s not exactly informative and kind of confuses the situation. The point of the question presented by @dutch was that the name of the color was different for the same paint RPO. So while the names can change, so can their shades/actual colors.
This isn’t the case with Berlin Blue and Night Race Blue for the 2015 Corvette, as its the same color with two different names. No google search needed.

ParticipantThanks for all the replies.
I guess it was the metal flake and the purplish tint that had me wondering how it could carry a Night Race Blue RPO.
