The US HF (don't know about other regions) never got Celestial Blue Pearl. Torino Red Pearl was also a DX-only color.

I like what your doing with this thread. Its good to see all the factory colors. Have you thought about getting pics of the colors like the thread on H-tech. I think that would be cool to do, not necessarly all of them, but just the rex colors.
Not a bad idea.

This topic would make a good sticky too! :D

... B-53P is now gone? :?
Sorry, I could have been more direct. It's a '90-91 DX-only color, not '90-91 DX/HF.
Thanks for clearing that up.

I thought CBP B-53-P was a Canadian Crx Color.

I can prove to you without a doubt that both the honda tech and your list are wrong about the Tahitian Green - I have a 1991 DX with it. And the factory color code is in the door, incase you were wondering.

*grin* I can provide pix whenever I finally have time to bust out the digital camera if you'd like.
Lets see those pics, not that I am doubting you, I just havent seen a dx that color, I have only seen the b53p dxs.

Ahem...check your paint tag inside the driver's side door. There is more than one type of Vogue Silver Metallic. The Canadian 1991 CRX Si Special Editions are NH-550M.

NH-583M is a very different colour and is used on newer Civics.

The top picture is Tahitian Green Pearl, the bottom is Celestial Blue Pearl. As you can see, not a huge difference.
It's a huge difference when you get 1 of each side by side in the same lighting conditions. I've seen CBP and TG beside each other before. CBP is obviously blue, and TG is obviously green.

Yes that's true, it's easy to tell in person. But this shows how they're so easily confused in pictures.
