Default Paint Code ? 5th gen Civic Purple

I can't figure out what the paint code is for the purple color on the 5th gen Civic coupes. Does anyone know?

Note: I don't have the car with me, so I can't go look on the B-Pillar.

If we are thinking of the same purple it's R86-P4.

The "-4" at the end just refers to a batch code, not the actual color name. Only some cars have the "-4" at the end.

Electron Blue Pearl is kind of a paler blue. Super Sonic Blue Pearl looks purple sometimes.

Either way, 5th gen Civics never came in that color.

I think it might be R86 since it only came on 93-95 Civic, the same years the coupes were made. Its this color right here, which is def. not EBP and is not a color available for the 6th gen Civic.

I would really expect it to be Camellia Red Pearl. The only other choice I think we'd have is Horizon Gray... but I can't recall if that was available on coupes (5th gens aren't my strong point) and a lot of people don't think of it as purple.

I figured it would be too after Civic_07 mentioned it. I don't think its Horizon Grey because IIRC that color was only available on 94-95 Civics, and mines a 1993. Thanks for the help.

That is Camellia Red Pearl (R86). My coupe is the same color (except that mine has nice shades of rust and peeling clear coat . )
