Phoenix Yellow 2020 Civic Type R facelift refresh model spotted testing at Nurburgring

[WindJunkie]

I guess that makes Aegean Blue the most exclusive color - only available on US models '17-19. Glad I got one when I did, not a fan of the lighter shades... I'd much rather be mistaken for an STI than a Focus RS.

I think SGP at this point would be considered "most exclusive color" at least for USDM

Aegean was also called Brilliant Sporty Blue in other non-US markets.

Different color code. Same thing goes for the Japan Market Red, it's different than the Rallye Red.

BSBM is still listed in the US.

You're absolutely right.

You are correct, they are different blues and reds.

What's funny is that BSBM & ABM are interchanged frequently when you discuss parts & paint with Honda dealers/parts departments (go ask for touch-up paint for ABM for instance). Despite being different colors on the chart above, I believe they are the same.

Ah, wasn't aware.

Ah, wasn't aware.

I mean I wouldn't be surprised if the dealer or parts department was inept, but they literally had the touch-up paint listed in their system as ABM with a part number to go grab, and the bottle with that part number said BSBM. They special ordered a touch up paint canister for ABM just in case...and it came in with a sticker that said BSBM.

It was a little silly, but the paint is an exact match, for touch-up paint at least.

Based on people ordering blue and red Mugen prepainted kits I’d assume they’re the same.

Since when do we treat Wikipedia as a legitimate source?

Aegean Blue = Brilliant Sporty Blue
Ralleye Red = Flame Red
Phoenix Yellow = Sunlight Yellow

Yep, wiki is known for allowing anyone to edit its contents.

And Championship White = Flat White with a tinge of piss.

It states nowhere that they are two different colors on the Wikipedia page, that was my inference so the information posted is still reliable as a representation.

As far as I can tell, there is no source for this information, just third parties marking objects as a color, which then matches cross color code and paint title, which I wasn't aware of.

However, I still think Wikipedia can be utilized as an information source pool if you verify the corroborated secondary source provided, sadly there is not information relating to paint or paint codes so I could not do this and in turn, made a guess.

Wikipedia may be altered, but those sources the information is based on, cannot.

You are correct, you can.

So I did, it should be more clear now.
