Like the actual color name. You can find where your paint code is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and then use the same site to find the color name. Mine is in the particularly lovely Toreador Red. I’m interested in seeing what Oppo has!

Mmm. Turquoise Metallic. I think it should have been called Greenest-Green-On-The-Block-Unless-Your-Neighbor-Has-One-Of-Those-Obnoxious-Daytona-Chargers Green.

Platinum Grey is a solid choice, and noticeably more interesting than Reflex Silver.

E9: Laser Red Metallic

But after two decades of sunlight, it’s more like “Laser Pink Metallic”...

Laser Red really is a gorgeous color, though. I can still see it sparkle when I clean up my door jambs.

I do agree. It was either red, black, white or the grey and the grey won.

Not too many options, but I think I went with the right one for sure.

The grey is perfect. Road salt and pollen don't really show that much either.

‘Midnight Gray Metallic’ according to my touch-up pen! :) It’s more navy blue than gray to me, but I can see where they got the name from! :) Wish I had a close-up pic, because it actually looks quite nice in direct sunlight when clean due to the metallic effect! :P

(pardon the dirt and lack of Oppo sticker - older pic!)

Savannah Green Metallic was the paint color for my old beloved Impreza!

My color is Sonic Blue Pearl. Thanks for this site! This paint color is starting to peel in several places on my car, and will need to be re-sprayed soon. My wifes T&C is pretty rusty as well, and I’ll either get another family car soon, or just keep fixing it and run the damn thing into the ground.

Yeah, it’s mostly fine. The fenders and front bumper are non-OEM from when it hit a ditch, and the paint there isn’t great, but not terrible either. And I got lucky by finding another Nighthawk 5th gen at the junkyard, so I have OEM replacements in the right color.

My cousin has a Nighthawk Fit. I’ve never noticed any paint issues with it.

Which the geniuses at Chrysler use the same code and name for one paint that is a dark grey color and the other a greenish grey color (same years). It makes getting touch up paint a real adventure. I mean crap shoot.
