The problem is that Honda has to make Fits a lot differently for the US market than they do for their own. They make the cars in their preset 7 or 8 colors and boat them over here where they get allocated to dealerships, and then sold to the public. I think the most you can do with custom ordering is for dealer-installed options, and that is 2 or 3 weeks down the line after the car gets painted. It's not like you are ordering the car from Honda Japan and flying out to pick it up like a BMW or Volvo, and even then I don't think you can order Euro colors for them. Never hurts to call your dealership, though!
