Harvard Blue Pearl is a navy blue color. The car posted above it NOT Harvard Blue Pearl.

Looks like Long Island Blue Pearl, from the NSX, or possibly Captiva Blue Pearl.

The car cockerkid008 posted in this thread is Harvard Blue Pearl.

Oh, and there is no US EG6. An EG6 is a hatch that came stock with a B16A.

That car is not Electron Blue Pearl ("Si blue") either.

I say get something besides:
- Championship White
- Phoenix/Sunlight Yellow
- Electron Blue Pearl
- Long Beach Blue Pearl
- Any gunmetal or charcoal color

Make your car a little more unique and give me something new to look at.

Since EG6s aren't from the US, I'm betting it's not an EG6.

I don't think the chances of a LHD SiR getting to Indiana is very high.

Absolutely.

To the OP those are not JDM headlights, honestly JDM 5th gen headlights are arguably worse than our own, they're plastic and haze over, they do lack the 3 nipples that our glass ones have so they look better if they're in good shape. EDM is where its really at, glass with no nipples. Also, from everything i've ever read anywhere Blox LCAs suck. If you want a hatch go find a cheap shell and swap what you can onto it and then buy the rest.

Oh yeah, as NOFX already stated, thats not harvard blue pearl, I own a harvard blue sedan, it does not IMO look good on hatch, it seems to work better on something like a sedan for some reason.

I'd definitely have to disagree with that. There are so many colors out there and i doubt Electron Blue Pearl, a generic cherry red (what does that even mean?) or generic dark gray would be the best colors out there.

I'm thinking Tahitian Green off the bat.

It's one of the stock colors the 5th gen Civic hatch came in. It's pretty popular.

Like this blue? It's factory for a 93. I'm not sure of the name, but I love it. Part of the reason I bought this car.

No problem.

Btw, the color code should be in the door jamb, if you want to confirm the color.

Honda also called Captiva Blue Pearl by the name New Blue Pearl.
