That's an eye catcher. Hope the coupe can pull it off?

Champagne Frost Pearl will make me heave but will sell HUGE with those over 65.

When I first read "champagne", I thought they were bringing back the Heather Mist or Seattle Silver. This color looks more like Mimosa than champagne . . .

Tiger Eye Pearl reminds me of the terrible gold color on the 2001 Acura CL Type-S

It does look weird there, but more extreme colors look better on new cars. Hey, if the Camaro, Mustang, and Genesis can pull them off, I'd bet the Accord coupe could. Since the current gen, I've though it had the looks to at least fit in with the up-market muscle cars. Just not the go...

Also, would someone be kind enough to possibly photoshop that Tiger Eye Pearl onto a coupe concept picture?

yeah looking through the swatches and seeing that color made me think that it is probably more like a very light silver with a goldish tint - sort of like the one color on the Odysseys for a while. I forget what it was called though.

It looks a little different now. (His cell phone pic, I have yet to take any "proper" pics of it since all the additions.)

The S2K and NSX are not the same color as the CL-S. They were both 'Imola Orange', the CL-S was 'Sundance Gold'. The 2002 Civic Si was 'Euro Yello Pearl' (also terrible).

btw-I like Imola Orange!

Sundance Gold aka Pimp Daddy Gold. I remember my local Acura dealer had 8 of them side by side. It was absolutely sickening and it took forever to get rid of them!

Wasn't one of the Civic yellows called Inca, Mayan or Aztec Yellow?

I don't consider any of these colors to be similar to "Tiger Eye Pearl."

Remember there are many, many types of yellows, oranges, golds, bronzes and ambers, so it's important not to "generalize" on color, too.

My color guides typically show about 20-30 variations on each one of these - combined with the option of pearls and metallics, the possibilities soar!

I never knew the s2000 came in Imola orange, I can honestly say I've never seen one. Which years was it offered?

It was never offered in the US. Canada got it in 2007 I think, and there are some other colors that the US never received as well.

The '02 Imola is my buddies second NSX. He had a '92 before that.

He let me drive the '92 the day he traded it in on the '02. That experience ruined me. I drove a 2006 S2k a couple weeks after and it couldn't hold a candle to the NSX.

The Sundance Gold CL-S was AWESOME! If you don't think so, that just demonstrates your lack of good taste. So there! LOL

Jeff might know better.

Typically there were around 2-3 exclusive colors not available in all markets. That orange may be one of them. And notice the side marker lights...

The car appears to be in Canada as those are Calgary Flames jerseys on the wall.

Not my dealership - but Calgary for sure. We never got an Imola Orange S2000 but one was featured at the local car show - probably that one - and under the show lights it looked stunning - one of those two-tone colors that varies depending on the angle you look at it between yellowy orange and a redder orange. Must be a nightmare to repaint panels.
