What is your favorite color for the 2006 Civic?

twinkle

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 really like Nighthawk Black Pearl and the blue metallic one. They both look really good in my opinion on any car.

TomH

these are the stock paints are they?
I dont think you're paying extra for them.

The 06 Honda metallic blue color is hot... so nice.
Im thinking of spraying my old car that color

GT_1

But they look good

Silver looks classy, i like it. If i buy a new civic it will be silver, they aren't all that common where i live

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

UsedCars

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.

Which colors were sold as standard?
White, black, red etc but what else was sold without extra charge?

UsedCars

Sometimes they may have other colors as matte finishes, but normally you only had black and white that were not metallic. Then they would often have an off-white metallic or pearl, and also sometimes a black metallic. No doubt the metallic paint looks better, but it was like $450 more.

I'd like to vote for Fiji blue, but it's not on the poll.

imported_Mikey

$450 is worth it IMO.
Its a small price to pay for a unique looking car. I see too many of the common colors around.
Having something different catches peoples eye.

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?

anteater

Not in stock form, perhaps as an option though.
I like green/purple pearl color, thats one of my fave combo colors.

imported_1stcivic

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.

anteater

Awesome 1stcivic!
Yes, that would look excellent if the wheels match.

Can we see a photo of your car?

Dead_Pedal

Galaxy grey metallic is fantastic, that is the color of my lx as well, the website really doesn't do it justice. I would have called it pewter or something.

imported_1stcivic

Right now I have the stock wheels still on. I'm waiting for Winter to be over before I put on my summer wheels with my summer performance tires. I can poat a picture of the car as is if you want?

kero

I went with galaxy gray because its neutral, easy to maintain and not eye catching, don't need any more attention to my cars, espcially on LI!

Gotham Dark Knight

Atomic Blue Metallic
Galaxy Gray Metallic
Nighthawk Black Pearl
Rallye Red
Royal Blue Pearl
Taffeta White
Alabaster Silver Metallic



Gotta love the name...its like a new box of crayons...you know where Crayola now names the new crayons things like Macaroni Cheese Yellow...well, adults need a color box too...so its no longer metallic gray...its "Galaxy" Metallic Gray..."alabaster" Silver metallic...geez...What happen to "Incredible Hulk Green?"...

kero

^^^ or Ghost Rider Red (many of you would not even know of this old comic character)

imported_hcivic

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.

kero

I am picking my up this week, any quirky issues with yours??

06 Honda Civic EX

Rallye Red/black Interior Hot **** Right Here

Darkk

I own the 2006 Civic EX with Shoreline Mist Metallic color so where is this color in the voting booth?

Darkk

phantom-civic

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

05blkrs

thanks to your friendly neighborhood moderator, your color was now added... and i'lleven vote for it.. even though i dont know what it looks like

Darkk

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.

Wanted to try black pearl - I know it's tough to maintain but the reflection is tough to beat. A black coupe is very hard to get in Hawaii. There maybe only 1 or 2 others in Hilo.

asanabria

The Shoreline Mist Metallic is very nice and the ivory interior is great too!

I just ordered my Civic Sedan EX '07 with this color combination
