The NP3 is actually a combination of electroless nickel impregnated with teflon.Extremely hard and wear resistant.
NP3 also is extremely easy to clean even when extremely dirty and is self lubricating. It's not like a "nickel" plating that you might be thinking about, like the normal nickel finishes. NP3 is excellant for guns that see hard duty and lots of exposure to extreme conditions such as weather also.Hope this helps to answer your question.
There is more good info on Robar's webpage. The keyword here as you may have noticed is"extreme". It's long term,hard use protection. It's not really as much about the "color" of the finish as it is about durability.NP3 just happens to be a white/gray finish due to the nickel content.
