That blue is gorgeous, but I'm a little biases as blue is my favorite color. I'm not gonna lie, I like the S2k CR blue and the NSX blue.




S2k could be a little darker and more metallic in it.

yeah i hear ya, i considered the NSX blue, and the CR blue is a little too light for me.

But i'm like 95% sure on the dark blue of the first accord SIR i posted.

I just have to order a new front bumper and possibly a spoiler before he paints it. I'll keep you guys posted

i really like the color that came on my accord, it's like metallic silver i beleive (dont know the actual name from honda) but it looks different colers under different light...i'll show you pics so you can see what i mean.

in broad daylight it's definitely silver:


near dusk it's almost a light bluish silver:











and even closer to dusk it looks really bluish:

I've always been fond of the late 90's civic si "electron blue". I think that is what it was called. Awesome color.

kahnvict's blue 5th gen FTW! I saw one on the road the other day and it was gorgeous. Definitely a rarity.

The blue isn't bad...

I love graphite, the darker the better.. with some shiny specks in it...
Almost black, but really just a dark shade of grey... when people see it they'll double take cuz they aren't sure if it's that color or not...

"oh... oh wait, it is.. and damn it looks good"
