Honda paint codes
On a Honda, the factory paint code is printed on the color/trim label on the driver's door jamb — Honda codes read like NH-731P or B-588P (the letter prefix is the color family: NH neutral, B blue, R red, YR yellow-red). It identifies the exact color the car was born with — a respray never changes it. 13 documented colors below with their codes and finishes; swatches are representative.
