Looks like a darker version of the Ficus Green, but with more grey in it. That's the best way I can describe it.

Looks black to me, just the glare from the sky makes it look lighter.

Oooooooh..........charcoal would look awesome on a prelude!

Yes it's an Euro lude and i have about the same (no altezzas though ). The color is either "Pearl Black" or "Phantom Grey" (same ref., different names !! depends on the source) it has a special undercoat and was available for 92-95 models. For 95-96 the black changed to something like 'flamenco black' IIRC.

Ah yes Euro Ludes all have the rear windshield wiper, and this *ugly* rear fog light.

He's right -&gt; NH-561P (as i said i've got the same color)
From the naked eye it's quite black. It reflects quite well the sky color hence the lighter shades on the pictures.
The name for NH-561P is either "Pantom Grey" (according to some catalogs) or "Pearl Black" (according to other catalogs, and i think it's the name mentioned in Honda papers)
I'd take some pictures if i had a camera...
Anyways here are some pictures of 2 "NH-561P" ludes:

and a close-up where we can see the "sparkle" of the paint: (it's black, but the yellow-ish road reflects on it)
