Red is overdone, fades to pink, is a real PITA to match, looks horrible when parked next to other shades of red, costs more, and gets you pulled over. I had a Milano Pink EJ1 once. Never again.

White is Honda's unofficial official color. It matches any accessory color scheme. I have never seen a Honda that didn't look stunning in white when painted properly (i.e. not the Earl Scheib $149 special where they paint over EVERYTHING without masking). Hondas are made to be white.

- Targa, whose driveway has 6 white cars parked in it, four of which are Hondas.

That's because it's 2008, not 1995. Taste happened.

I only wish I could say that. To the OP, you really can't go wrong with championship white on a honda, and I hate white cars (I think it has to with white cars looking so bad when they start to rust.)

Actually, Milano Red is kind of Honda's unoffical color. They've been using it consistantly since 1992.

What is all this nonsense about "Honda's Unofficial Colour"? None of you sound like you have a clue what you're talking about...

Honda chooses colours based on many things, but having an "unofficial colour" is not one of them.
