I like black or you could do that new accord color its like a black but has fades of blue and purple at different angles, anyway it looks dope. Black with a metallic flake would look sweet too, or a deep dark blue

I'd leave it black or something dark... like carbon-schwartz metallic. It's the color off of a BMW M5. It looks black but in different light it has hints of dark blue.

This picture does the color no justice. Its called nighthawk black pearl, go to your local honda and take a look at it, its black but in certain light it has shades of blue and purple, really sweet color

I still like the accord color, before you pass it up check it out in person. Then again the m3 blue is sweet too. I love a color that looks dark but in certain lights has different accents to it

there was a thread in the prelude forum a long time ago about what color a foreign prelude was; it was a dark, almost black grey. I think someone said it was either a factory color in that country or it was an IS300 charcoal grey. That color got my vote.

I also think preludes look great in black.
