    At dealer inventory web search sites like
    http://www.elkgrovehonda.com/powersearch.cfm colors for cars listed as in
    stock are shown in code, the first two letters apparently standing for the
    exterior color, followed by a / mark, and then two more letter which I guess
    stand for the interior color.

    Which color, in words, do each of these exterior color codes represent?

    BX
    BS
    BU
    GY
    WH
    SI

    I wrote an email to Elk Grove Honda in Elk Grove, CA asking this question.
    Two days later I got an reply saying why don't I come over there and look at
    the cars.

    I went to Mel Rapton Honda in Sacramento, CA and asked the showroom salesman
    the same question. He had no idea, and his dealership doesn't offer such a
    display on line of his inventory (though many other dealers on the web do).

    The color charts in dealer showrooms have word names for each color, but no
    codes. Window stickers don't show the color codes either, only list the
    colors in words.

    So - maybe someone here really knows? No guessing, please. For example, I
    don't think SI stands for silver, but rather may stand for atomic blue or
    some such. So WH may not mean white, either.

    If anyone can find a source for authoritative information about these color
    codes, please tell us where that is.

    If all else fails, I'll have to phone Honda's toll free number for customer
    service, but I suspect nobody there will know, either.
