Just a question, is the blackberry pearl more purple than blue? Is it the same colour as last year's model? If someone can point me to some nice pictures of the new BB pearl (other than on honda.com), that would be greatly appreciated.

Taffeta White (partially because that's what I have on order). Not sure if orange will be a popular color, but I'm nevertheless anxious to see the new orange revolution in the flesh.

I saw a poll recently where white is the most popular color for all cars. Why is that?

Personally, I like the blue sensation pearl.

I'm not sure why white is so universally popluar. Wondering if it's partially due to commercial fleet sales and rental cars. Following is an excerpt from a USA Today article:

"After seven years leading the pack, silver has given up its title as the most popular vehicle color in North America, losing out by a small margin to white and pearl white, according to a study done by DuPont Automotive Systems. Silver was the longest-reigning top color in the history of the study, says Karen Surcina, color marketing and technology manager at DuPont Automotive. White, on the other hand, is what Surcina calls a palate cleanser. Although it is currently popular in the fashion industry, which influences vehicle tones, it will likely have only a short stay at the top of the list as consumers move on to deeper, more vibrant colors. According to the study, white also has become popular in Japan and Mexico. Black is most popular in Europe. And in China, buyers prefer black and silver almost equally. In South Korea and Brazil, drivers still prefer silver by a wide margin."

So far I've seen mostly SSM purchased here... but I'm thinking BBP will rise again to be popular!

Actually the white looks really nice, but my last white - a Civic, was totaled in an accident. So I think white is bad luck for me.

As far as I can see from the website, it's the same color. And it's very well-described by the name - Blackberry Pearl. It is a very deep blue-purple. In low light, it can look dark blue or black, but in the sun, the purple pearly bits show up and it takes on that dark purple blue color.

So the answer is...Neither! It's both. I love the mysteriousness of a car that changes color, myself. Well, it doesn't exactly change color, but it looks very different in different light conditions. Matter of fact I went shopping in late afternoon yesterday and returned to a car that was almost black! Fun, you never know what car you'll be driving that day!

White is the most visible color and many people buy it for that reason - safety at night and other low-light conditions. To me, it's a blank canvas and b-o-r-i-n-g. But whatevs, everyone has his or her prefs.

I think silver or white will win the popularity contest, but the new crystal black pearl is what I've chosen ... looks great in the sun!

Silver! Represent!

Appears clean longer, isint as hot in the Atlanta summers as the dark colors.

I like white on many cars, just not the Fit. Ive owned two white cars... they stay clean fairly long and theyre not so hot in summer.

Blackberry Pearl - To dark for summer months. Not really a fan of the purple hint it has.

Blue Sensation Pearl - Very nice blue but possibly to dark. Not as bright as other or previous blues.

Crystal Black Pearl - Not a fan of black. To hot, to hard to keep clean.

Milano Red - Nice color but I don't see myself in a red car.

Orange Revolution Metallic - Very nice bright color but to bright for me. To much attention from it.

Storm Silver Metallic - Nice clean silver color.

Taffeta White - My favorite

Tidewater Blue Metallic - To light and girly for me.

Here's my take on all the colors:

Blackberry Pearl - I love purple but it's too dark for summer months in the south. A light lavender like in the JDM model would be perfect for me.

Blue Sensation Pearl - Never liked medium blues, or most satuated blues. It doesn't go w/ my complexion or outfits.

Crystal Black Pearl - Hate black - the color of death!

Milano Red - Another boring red color, but don't dislike it either.

Orange Revolution Metallic - Like it a lot because it's unique and maybe safer due to bright warning-like color - but may also attract cops.

Storm Silver Metallic - Nice but too common, and too invisible to traffic hazzards.

Taffeta White - Very nice but it's a bad-luck color for me - got me into accident before. However it does go w/ just about any outfits (hah, a Fit that fits my outfit)!

Tidewater Blue Metallic - Love the girly color, because I am a girl and it's such a sweet statement! :-) Also good for southern summer as it's still light enough. My only concern is, will it blend in too much as to be a traffic hazzard?

My all-time favorate Fit color is the light pinkish lavender of JDM version - light enough for southern summer, unique enough to locate in a big parking lot (if I can see it among the monster SUVs), and striking enough in traffic, but not too stand out for cops. Oh and very very feminin - no men will steal it!

If I can paint my car any color, I may also choose a light creamy sunshine yellow (a slightly muted, less satuated light yellow - the color of lemonaid, not lemon peel, nor light tan). It will really bring out the shine in my long black hair. Will match a number of my favorate outfits too.
