Ok, fine.

Go into the Appearance/Cosmetic forum and look around. Find a color you like, and PM the owner of the car.

How hard was that?

GG99

go to a shop and look through the color books they have. you can look around in ac forum, good luck trying to get paint codes from people, no one likes biters.

Why are you asking us what color to paint your car? Pick a green you like and paint the car. Asking us to make the decision for you is like asking us to choose your next girlfriend.

If you want us to give some opinions, at least give us a direction - dark green, light, grey-green, metallic, satin, etc.

Is it a hatch/sedan/coupe?

If it is a hatch, go with Midori Green!

You're not really leaving yourself open to many color selections if you want to not repaint your stock green door jambs.

Depending on what year or body it is, this means your car is one of three colors (if it's a stock color).

- 96-98 EX coupe

I prefer Clover. Cypress looks dingy really fast. But then again, that's because no one takes care of it. Fresh Cypress looks awesome. Since Cypress has those blue colors in it and it's a dark color, blueish white oxidation shows up really quickly on it. Keep it clean and it'd look really good though. I've noticed the Cypress EDM Civics usually look much better than the USDM ones. I'm thinking it has to do with the climate (rain mostly).

I like other OEM colors too though. I'd like to see Hockenheim Green in person someday.

Cypress &gt; Clover and I disagree that it gets dingy fast. The reason that Cypress paint usually looks worse than Clover is that every car it's on is 1-3 years older than the Clover ones.

Exactly... and like I said, people don't take care of it. Since it's darker, oxidation shows easier.

Then you're going to have to paint it Cypress Green again unless you want the door jambs to look like ***.

Boost_V

if the green you pick is different enough, your jams and engine bay are still gonna look WAY OFF.
