Re: WHAT GREEN SHOULD I PAINT MY EK (GG99)
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.

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).
G-82P
Cypress Green Pearl
(Dark Green with Blue Hues)
- 98 DX coupe
- 96-98 EX coupe
- 96-98 DX sedan
- 96-98 EX sedan
- 96-98 LX sedan
G-95P
Clover Green Pearl
(Dark Green with Gold Hues)
- 99-00 DX coupe
- 99-00 EX coupe
- 99-00 DX sedan
- 99-00 DX-V/Se/VP sedan
- 99-00 EX sedan
- 99-00 LX sedan
GY-16P
Midori Green Pearl
(Cool Mint Green)
- 96 CX hatch
- 96 DX hatch

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 > 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 ***.
