OR is the only orange currently avail and I was curious as I never knew there was an orange on the FIT until 2009. I had a black 2008 and don't remember that color being offered but I may be wrong. It would be interesting the two side by side to see the differences

Look up the honda paint codes, and compare the paint codes. If it is the same colour, the codes will be the same.

OR is more of a brown orange and BOM is more of a copper orange.

Blaze orange looks salmon color compared to the Orange Revolution, which looks like a proper orange.

lol yeah... let's not go and offend people
it wasn't my first choice but i really wanted stick. BOM is a color that looks best in the sunlight. when it's cloudy it doesn't look so good, especially on a car that is unmodified (at least lowered and tinted)

I know I am reviving an old thread, but its the first thing that comes up in searches and people looking for used Fits will still be interested in this.

I have a BO and a co-worker has a OR. I will try to park next to him and get some pictures. There is definitely a difference.

Its a cloudy day when I took these pictures, but you can still see the differences. The BO is darker and has more copper. The OR is a bit brighter, but neither is bright orange.
