Default Figuring out my color code ?

Is there anyone that would be able to tell what the exact color is based off pictures? :\ , previous owner was semi-retarded, barely spoke english and had no idea what i meant when i asked for the color code.




forgot to mention it was resprayed.. i'm sure this makes it even more difficult. any help is appreciated, thanks.

Only if it is an OEM color. Otherwise, the camera used, various camera settings, and other factors such as ambient lighting, pretty much make what you ask for impossible.

It should have a sticker in the door jamb that says the color code. If you look in the top of the paint/body forum there is a post for a whole bunch of year Hondas/ Acura with the codes and corresponding colors. Just to save you the time I copied the following out the post:

1996 Civic
Cyclone (Grayish) Blue Metallic Clearcoat B-73M
Cypress Green Pearl Clearcoat G-82P
Midori Green Pearl Clearcoat GY-16P
Champion White Clearcoat NHO
Granada Black Metallic Clearcoat NH-503P
Frost White NH-538
Vogue Silver Metallic Clearcoat NH-583M
Milano Red Tricoat/Clearcoat R-81
Island Coral Pearl Clearcoat R-95P
Roma Red Clearcoat R-97
So assuming it's a stock color, it's either Champ White or Frost White...But I think the champ white might have only been the CTRs (Don't quote me on that). Check the sticker in your door jamb, and you'll be good to go.
