For our non-US friends:

'Opal Silver Blue Metallic' is what Honda calls 'Fluorite Silver Metallic' in the US.

Same for 'Magnetic Pearl' versus what the rest of the world knows as 'Sparkle Grey Pearl'.

Personally, I think they should have kept the same color names, but it wouldn't be the first time Honda changed something for the US market

 

I picked Galaxy Grey as I prefered the beige interior to the two-tone blue interior. The beige seems to be holding up well (I have over 10,400 miles on it). I did get the black all weather mats though to save the floor (a must have for beige interiors).

 

gchu... same here. Galaxy Grey exterior, beige interior hold up well at 18k miles, black all weather floor matts. The beige floor matts had holes in them after only 2 months. After the seats start to look really worn, I will cover them with black/tan wet okoles.

 

Kelly, so you decided to go with a HCH II now? I wasn't sure from you post elsewhere, seemed as if you leaned toward the Accord Hybrid for power reasons. Either way you will be happy!!!

I say Magnetic Pearl, to me, it is a VERY beautiful color, and I love the blue interior as well.

 

I got the Magnetic Pearl. I wanted the blue two-tone interior, as it's just different.
The Alabaster Silver is also a very nice look with this interior. I see fewer Magnetic Pearl's though. It's a very unique color. Sometimes looks gray, others medium, blue, others dark blue. It's cool.

 

The other day I was stuck in traffic, and right behind me was my car's twin: an Opal Silver Blue Metallic HCH (later year because it had gray interior). And then, as we were stop-and-going along, I saw ANOTHER Opal Silver Blue Metallic HCH, this one an HCH2. And then as I was getting off, I saw yet another OSBM HCH2!

I tried to wave or give thumbs up to the other HCH drivers, but I'm not sure if they saw me. I've never seen that many of us in one spot at the same time, much less that many of the same color! Too funny.

I got the Magnetic Pearl as well.
