Honda Accord Touch Up Paint (191 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Honda has never been shy about their palette, recording a staggering 191 colors for the Accord over the decades. They really went for it with names that sound more like a luxury dessert menu than a parking lot, ranging from the moody Deep Velvet Blue Pearl and Nighthawk Black Pearl to the surprisingly bold Root Beer Metallic and Tiger Eye Brown Pearl. Whether your Accord is a "50 shades of grey" specialist or rocking the classic Clover Green Pearl Metallic, there is a lot of history packed into those paint codes.

What to Watch For

Here is the honest truth: Honda paint is a bit like a sensitive soul-it can be notoriously soft. If your Accord has spent a lot of time under the sun, you might notice the roof, trunk, or hood starting to look like it's recovering from a bad sunburn. This clear coat peeling is a common "Accord-ism," and those hood chips tend to happen because the factory finish is on the thinner side. To find your specific match, open the driver's side door and look at the jamb; you'll find a sticker with your paint code (usually starting with letters like NH or B) sitting right under a barcode.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these colors-like Celestial Blue Pearl or San Marino Red-rely on pearls and metallics for their depth, you need to shake your touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 seconds. You are waking up those tiny metallic flakes that like to settle at the bottom. When you go to fix a chip, do not try to fill the whole hole in one go. Apply the paint in thin, dainty layers, letting it dry between passes. Getting a metallic to sit perfectly requires patience, but thin layers are much happier than one giant, thick blob that will never quite look right.
