This has nothing to do with the most sold colors or even the most popular colors on the site, it is only the colors that people have filled in on their user profile. This is why Cargo Khaki shows as being a very popular color when in fact it is one of the least popular colors as it was only available for 1 or 2 model years. CK was also the default setting on site when you registered for several years! lol

So, for absolutely no bragging rights but some fun...

Alabaster Silver Metallic (ASM) - 1,213
Atomic Blue Metallic (ABM) - 811
Cargo Khaki (CK) - 1,323 (doesn't count as it was the default setting for YEARS)
Citrus Fire Metallic (CFM) - 51
Crystal Black Pearl (CBP) - 94
Eternal Blue Pearl (EBP) - 246
Fiji Blue Pearl (FBP) - 338
Galapagos Green Metallic (GGM) - 1,024
Galaxy Gray Metallic (GG) - 841
Kiwi Metallic (KM) - 536
Magnesium Metallic (MM) - 606
Midnight Red Pearl (MRP) - 26
Nighthawk Black Pearl (NBP) - 2,102
Neutron Blue Metallic (NBM) - 35
Omni Blue Pearl (OBP) - 32
Polished Metal Metallic (PMM) - 81
Rallye Red (RR) - 501
Root Beer Metallic (RBM) - 274
Royal Blue Pearl (RBP) - 112
Satin Silver Metallic (SSM) - 916
Shoreline Mist Metallic (SMM) - 413
Sunset Orange Pearl (SOP) - 1,429
Tangerine Metallic (TM) - 591
Tango Red Pearl (TRP) - 590
Custom Paint - 16

That is really strange about CK. Also note how many Magnesium Metallics, another one-year color.

CK was the default before NBP. I would be completely surprised if there were even 1300 CK's built in the first place. Very rare color "in the wild".

I would combine the totals and call them "unknown". It would be unhappy for the CK and NBP owners wanting their vote to count, but since the data collection was flawed for those two there's little choice.

 

[Snuffleupagus]

I have noticed that there are some registered ASM that really should be SSM also.

 

[spdrcr5]

CK was the only defaulted color as far I know. I don't believe NBP was ever a defaulted color selection during registration. Because once we realized it I changed it to be None as the default.

Oops, my mistake. My post above corrected.

 

[spdrcr5]

Oops, my mistake. My post above corrected.

not a problem.

NBP and SOP were both 25% of the builds in 2003-2005 which would account for their high registration numbers. I know SOP was stopped after that 3 yr run, when was NBP stopped or was it never stopped?

 

[ramblerdan]

Nighthawk Black Pearl: 2003–08, the longest run of any Element color
Crystal Black Pearl: 2009–10

Considering the production numbers for '09 and '10, I don't think we'll be seeing a lot of CBPs.

The one-year colors were Magnesium Metallic (2005), Cargo Khaki (2005), and Eternal Blue Pearl (2003). I've heard that Fiji Blue Pearl (2004–05) actually appeared on late MY 2003 cars, but can't confirm. If true, there could be few EBPs indeed.

No matter what those numbers say, Kiwi was and will always be the best color.

I have to tell you, you would not be a good source to determine what is best... didn't you move from HAWAII to north dakota? :-( ;-) I'm just sayin'.

 

[lizzurd]

Honda only brought out Kiwi because they ran out of cool people to sell GGM's to.



Damn i miss my GGM.

Ck

I finally saw a Cargo Khaki Element the other day. Had no idea what it looked like, but once I saw it, I knew it could be no other color than the elusive CK....
First (and only) one I've seen in the Tampa area.

[GUMP08SC]

A little surprised

Root Beer Metallic (RBM): 274

I'm a bit surprised to see 274 Root Beer Metallics. Wasn't that only '07 & '08 SC's??? Not a bad number then....

 

[Snuffleupagus]

One thing is apparent, no matter what those numbers say, Kiwi owners are a bunch of umm.. "peculiar" people.

Not by choice. Thank Uncle Sam for that one.

GGM is what happens when they use all the coolness on the proper green Es.

There is way more green in a KM than a GGM. Green=coolness. GGMs are lacking in that area.

This looks pretty green to me.

 

[slimerdogs]

With that temp in the background its almost looking a little blue.. Almost bought a GGM before I got my SOP.

I still kinda wish mine was ABM or Prince Purple Rain Pearl, but I'm still proud of my TRP. It chose me.
