Best Color for the 2006 Civic?
#2
Why do car companies always come up with the dumbest names for colors? I also like how they make most of the paints metallic so they can charge an extra $100-$500 dollars for the paint job.
I will never buy a car without a flat paint job just because I do not want to pay their rip off charges.

Black Pearl for me. I like any dark color, the only thing that does bug me is when its dirty.
I dont like silver or white, they are far too common these days.
They come up with names just for marketing purposes really.

I did not check out the actual prices, I just know it is standard issue for car companies to charge for metallic based paints.

I can confirm what Twinkle has said. I sold all the various ford products, Jaguars, Astin Martins, Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Mazda etc, and all of those lines had an extra charge for the metallics.

I had a 1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air Sport Sedan that was White over Green. That's a color scheme I liked! Does anyone think two tones will ever make a resurgence as a factory offering?

Why I chose this color.
I chose Galaxy Grey Metallic becasue the optional 17" HFP Alloy Wheels for the 06 Civic are painted the same color.
I have four 215/45YR-17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 XL's to go with them.

Put me down in the Atomic Blue column. It's the same color as Julie Banderas' suit currently on Fox News Channel. The car only comes with the gray interior. Take it or leave it. I think the other LX interior (ivory/yellow/tan depending on how the sunlight hits it) is an Atomic Bust. I've had the LX for 10 days. Fun to drive.

yea that red and black combo is crazy hot, but need the red gauges, not blue. I personally got my black and tan, which is elegant, but i wish they had the black inteiror available for the black ext. would make it so much sportier....o well.
I know black is a bitch to keep clean, but when its clean WOOO!, u guys gotta give black props

Shoreline Mist Metallic is like very light beach sand color. Something you see on a Florida beach which is where I live. Since it has metallic flakes in the paint it gives off a nice glitter effect of wet sand.
