Default What color white?

Ok so my problem is that I got my car sitting at my buddys dads house and he is gonna spray my bay. I bought my car last year on Honda marketplace and the OP listed the car as 93 civic cx CHAMP WHITE. So I had the championship white code pulled and he is getting a creamy white not the same color of my hatch. I have searched for hours trying to find a definitive answer on which color my car is and I am not certain enough yet. Can I get a few professional internet opinions on which color white my car is. Thanks

I know its hard to tell so let me know how I can help by uploading a picture at request or something thanks so much

if it was a respray of a custom white, then no one will be able to tell you exactly what white it is. But it looks like it was resprayed the stock white IMO.

option one- check the paintcode on the doorjamb and see what that looks like

option two- track down the guy you bought the car from and see what he says. if its a custom color and he has no paintcode then you have no definitive answer. if its from another car and is OEM then u can get that code. and if he doesnt know, and tells you it is not the stock white then...

option three- pull out the color chips from whatever manufacture of paint you're using and find the closest match and color match it to get the engine bay.

also when taking pictures of your car to get the best perspective of your color, do it in natural sunlight during the brightest time of day which can be anywhere from 11am-ish to 3pm-ish. The evening sun is reflecting a more yellow-y orange-ish light, and the uneven florescent lights in a parking garage has too many shadows and is reflecting white/blue-ish lights.

The previous owner said the car is champ white,

I pulled up a champion white and a championship white. The door jams were not resprayed so the oem paint code is there. Could it be frost white with just really nice clear? I can't find any cars that are painted the oem champion white color from Honda but it looks close to my color in the book

Champ white comes on the s2000. It is a very very bright white and almost identical to taffeta white. Has the paint already been mixed for the the engine bay?

Take the 2 10mm bolts off the gas door and go to a local auto body supply store and have them scan it. Even if u choose a chip when it gets mixed it could be different. Whites are tricky, many alternate mixtures some more white, more blue, red, grey etc. White isn't just white.
