Feel free to select/post your top colour choice if you are going to purchase a Type R.
If you want you can mention your back up colour choice(s) with a post below.

Note I kept the colour titles generic as names will likely be slightly different between regions such as Europe, North America, Australia, etc.

For the Euro spec caR the colours posted by Honda at the Geneva show are;

Crystal Black Pearl
Polished Metal
Sonic Grey
Championship White
Brilliant Sporty Blue
Ralley Red

For NA the final colours likely won't be announced until the NYIAS in April but these seem possible/likely;

Championship White
Black
Ralley Red
Metallic Blue
? Dark Metallic Grey
? Sonic Grey

I'll start. Going to go with Red. A very close back up is the dark metallic Grey. Wont know for certain until I see both which won't be so easy at first. I plan on trying to get to the New York Auto show in mid April in hopes of seeing the caR and the colour choices on display there..

I have a red Si right now and wouldn't mind to have another car in red, especially the Type R. I kind of want black, but I am not sure.

Guess my first choice is Ralley Red :).

I'm picking #1 Polished Metal Metallic, #2 White, #3 Red

I'm#1 on my dealers list and they were told yesterday they will be receiving an allocation of 4, so hopefully I will get one of my top 3... but that's not how my luck usually runs.
They made specific color requests to the inventory manager but won't know which colors they will get for sure, or the trim details yet (they will be told that 30 days before arrival). We have all heard the allocation numbers before, but they again said the allocation numbers are based on sales/volume with the average of 2 per, so some small markets many not see any initially.

Definitely interested in seeing what this colour looks like on the Type R. Whoever sees one first please be sure to post up a pic. Thanks

Does the choice of colors affect the CTR's resale value?
I somehow doubt it will for the average life of the vehicle. It could have a very minor effect in the long term if you still had one in very good condition but colour is a personal choice. I would say just go with the colour you like.

Yeah exactly, if you plan on keeping it for 30+ years and keeping it inside your house forever with only 10 miles on it, and then want to sell it at Barret Jackson, then definitely get CW 100%. If not, no, probably won't matter.
