Alabaster???? Gunmetal??? Celestial Blue????

 

I call it gunmetal official name is "Polished Metal Metallic". You'd think metal would be metallic

from photos, the Alabaster Silver looks like similar to Storm Silver Metallic

 

Right after I read your message I visited the Fit website. So now they will offer 2 shades of silver (bleh), the Tidewater Blue seems to have been re-branded as Celestial Blue, and the Blah Blue they now have has been punched up a little to somewhere between the Vivid Blue Pearl and the Blah Blue they now have.

But the worst news is no more Blackberry Pearl!!!!! WHAT OH WHAT IS HONDA THINKING?????



I guess I should be happy as that means my car will be more rare than ever....

 

I know right?!? BBP is way better looking than OR or BOM.

Today I seen quite a few Fits, so many that I've lost count. I seen at least 3 GD Sports 2 of which were Milano Red and 1 was wrapped in an orange vinyl. I think the wrapped one was a member on here who goes to 24 hours of LeMons races but I don't recall their screen name.

In addition to that, I saw a few GEs. One of which was a Celestial Blue at the auto show. It actually is different from Tidewater Blue, having some purple pigmentation in the paint but that may have been due to the halogen lighting.

 

Tidewater Blue does have purple flecks in it, have you ever seen it close up? It's actually really pretty and like BBP, it changes color depending on the light conditions.

I still say VBP was their best blue. I don't see as many of them around as I did when I was searching for my BBP. And I see more SSM than any other color. I do like the Taffeta White ones but those would be ripe for vinyl or a paint job.

 

Ah, well I stand (well, sit) corrected. VBP does as well, there have been plenty of times were my GD looked either light purple when under a street light or a strange green when the sunlight hits it at the right angle.

Not as strange as Bali Blue on the Ridgeline and Pilot though. It goes from dark blue, to purple, to green and to black depending on the lighting and angle.

 

Where I live there are at least four or five Fits in my development, including mine. Pretty much split between first gen and second gen. Although I don't see too many on the roads here in Bucks County. That changes during my daily drive to Center City Philadelphia for work; once I get there it seems as though one out of every ten cars I see at least is a Fit.

The most common colors I see are the Crystal black, VBP, and SSM (my color). I love the orange ones though!!
