Title: Mk4 Jazz Colours
Post by: RichardA on July 09, 2020, 08:35:40 PM
What colour is your Mk4 Jazz?
Title: Re: Mk4 Jazz Colours
Post by: Pine on December 23, 2020, 11:55:53 AM
I have been looking at the Jazz colours on the Honda website configurator and I am a little disappointed. My personal preference is for a lighter colour and I was hoping for the light blue I saw on a Japanese video.  I generally like metallic red but I am not sure about it on the Jazz, hopefully I will soon see one in the flesh.   The grey colour looks OK but on the EX it comes with light coloured seat fabric and I wonder about the practicality of this.  Currently white is at the top of my list and is quite acceptable to me although having had a white car for the past 3 years I was considering a change.

Given that Honda tend to use light grey undercoat I tend to go for a grey topcoat so chips don't stick out like a sore thumb and any touchup isn't required immediately.

Sorry, but in my opinion the grey colour makes the Jazz a very dull and anonymous car ...
And you think chips will be less visible on grey?

My last 3 Honda's have been 2 x Galaxy Grey and my current is Urban Titanium, all grey and I've been very happy with all of them. They are very good at hiding dirt and chips  :)

Plus, not being an expert detailer they hide my swirls.

Very poor choice of colours in my view. I wanted the grey interior which I am really happy with but that means grey or Moonbeam blue which looks almost black. I went for blue but wish it was a nice brifgt metallic blue.
I would have liked a Yaris with a nice blue but not available on model I wanted.
Too much having to compromise with not enough thought as to what the customer wants.

If you order from new you can choose any available interior colour for that model, the ones you quoted are the defaults

I initially thought you had a choice of interior colour on the EX grade but the dealer informed me that, although a lighter interior is available on EX grade, the actual interior colour on the EX is dependent on the exterior colour choice.
I therefore decided on red, to get the darker interior, which I thought would be more serviceable.
Maybe the dealer was trying to sell me a model he had in stock but the website configurator appears to support what they stated; it advises you that the chosen interior colour isn't available when you change the exterior colour to an unavailable pairing.
Has anyone been able to have free choice on the EX grade paint/interior trim options, e.g. grey paint with the darker interior?

I don't think it's possible since the car is built in Japan, and batches have to be imported in volume once in while.
Hence the short delays between order and delivery, at the cost of reduced choice in combinations.

White interior was a no go for me, so I chose to pick the premium white pearl paint instead to get the black interior (hence at an extra cost). I must admit the pearl paint job looks beautiful in the sun, even though I don't really care.

Decided on Red, again, all my previous Jazz cars have been Red.
I prefer a car which can be seen against the backdrop of grey tarmac etc.
Unfortunately although a perfect finish, I’ve found the top coat to be rather thin, as I already have a couple of minor scratches on it.

That's the issue I found. I don't want a cream interior and using the car configurator and specifying a black interior your exterior colour choice is limited.

I don't want black or white so red is the only other option.

I'm hoping the MY22 has more flexibility.

Post by: sportse on August 14, 2021, 05:32:50 AM
My dealer was able to source a white Jazz with the grey(cream) interior - a combination I wanted, but didn’t think was possible in the UK.

The UK website only allows grey or blue exterior colours with the grey interior at the moment, but you can have that combination on the Japanese website.

It was a nice surprise on handover.

Here in Poland Honda offers the Jazz in 3 different white exterior colours: Taffeta white, Platinum White Pearl and Premium Sunlight White Pearl.
Platinum White Pearl comes with the grey (cream) trim, Taffeta White and Premium Sunlight White Pearl with black (or in fact: very dark grey) trim.

https://www.honda.pl/cars/new/jazz-hybrid/accessories.html#configurator/hub

It seems that in different countries the importers can make different choices...

Here in Poland Honda offers the Jazz in 3 different white exterior colours: Taffeta White, Platinum White Pearl and Premium Sunlight White Pearl.

Taffeta White is solid white without extra cost, "cheap" and easy if additional spraying is necessary after a repair.  ;)
The pearl white colors are more expensive:
Platinum White Pearl costs extra 2500 PLN in Poland (about € 555,- / £ 465,-).
Premium Sunlight White Pearl costs extra 3200 PLN ( about € 700,- / £ 600,-).

We have chosen Premium Sunlight White Pearl. Beautiful, changes colour slightly depending on the (sun)light(https://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/verschiedene/c010.gif)

Taffeta White is not available on the British website, but it is available on the German, French, Dutch etc. etc. websites. I have no idea where you live, but there is bound to be a Honda website where you can find the available colours (with prices) in your country.

Unfortunately, I don't think you will find versions and colors with a Ford diesel engine for you... (https://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/froehlich/a068.gif)

I am surprised some people choose external colour to match light or dark upholstery. Also some complaining paintwork chips show up more prominent in certain colours. I not got my new car yet but I am getting dealer supplied paint protection for my light upholstery and to protect my midnight blue exterior. I picked midnight blue as didn’t want bright colours, grey, black or red. If it was Mazda soul red then a big yes.

PROTECT THAT NEW CAR FEELING
Autoglym LifeShine is a complete vehicle protection system that is professionally applied at the dealership to your car’s paintwork, upholstery and glass. It offers you peace of mind by protecting your car from the day you take delivery for the lifetime of ownership, guaranteed.

The same goes for me - I'd have preferred white with grey int. Had to go with Grey and thus pay extra for the lighter interior.  Wonder if dealers are keeping quiet?

I managed to get a new white with grey interior from Chiswick Honda - so it’s possible.

My test drive was in a silver car with grey interior and I thought it looked very modern inside, a bit like a VW ID3 EV.

Looking at the configuration options it’s still not showing as available though but is actually available.
Title: Re: Mk4 Jazz Colours
Post by: Kremmen on August 30, 2021, 05:00:27 AM
I've had light interiors before and they do turn grubby after years of use even with regular attention.

The 20 plate EX with grey interior I took out on test was starting to show signs of neglect which confirmed my choice of wanting black.

IIRC some grades allow a mix and match of colours (SR?) but the EX has fixed colour combinations.

As posted many times though, wd all have our own preferences and no one is 'right'.

Black is sensitive too. Every bit of sand, scurf or hair catches eye. I'd prefer darkish melange grey if such were available.

My wife was a bit dubious about white orchid pearl on her MK2 Si,  but it has proved to be very easy to keep looking clean ( and both of us allergic to cleaning cars ), is one of the safer colours as far as visibility is concerned.

You may not notice any difference in such a short time as 3 years,  my 8th gen Civic coming up to 10 years now, and still looks good after a swill with a garden hose brush with a shampoo stick ( did I tell you I am allergic to waxing cars ?).

Not according to sportse (see above) who got white with grey int. from Chiswick!  Quite annoyed I wasn't informed of possibility of getting this - although it seems to be a rare chance.  sportse said:

I rather like Surf Blue, but having been quoted on a March 2022 delivery, I opted for 2-tone Crystal Red instead. After watching copious Mk4 Jazz reviews on YouTube, Shining Grey Pearl has definitely grown on me. I think it's a perfect colour for hiding dirt (unlike perhaps Surf Blue) and suits the lines of the both versions rather well. The non-Crosstar Jazz also looks fab in white. And I noticed how one member also has white dashboard trim which looks fabulous!!

I’ve just driven in muddy country roads for a week in my platinum white - it’s actually quite good with dirt as it doesn’t look too bad when dirty. It does lose the platinum sparkle when dirty and just appears flat white.

The rear window/tailgate seems to be where most of the dirt accumulates but as I’d been washing it for a while with good shampoo beforehand it came off easily.

If I was regularly driving on those roads mudguards would help as the near side by the wheels also had quite a bit of mud spray.

That's where the Jazz indeed gets the dirtiest, apparently decent air vortices and drag behind the car. Inherent in a straight-back hatchback. We're lucky that Honda didn't forget to mount a wiper on the rear window. (https://www.toyotahybrideforum.nl/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

My rear camera has been strangely clear so far, compared to other cars I've had.

I did have the lifeshine treatment, so wonder if they put something on it? They do say that they treat the glass apart from the windscreen, but I haven't really noticed any difference on the side windows.

I have a Crosstar on order in red. For me it’s the only colour available with a bit of life in it.
The light blue one that has done the rounds with the press I think is not good and I think Hondas choice in loaning that colour car out, has encouraged many people not to have one.

Crosstar inside choice is not hard to decide as there is only one colour option.

My wife has a Aygo white with a red roof and trims and it was not our first choice but when purchased Aygo automatics with climate control were very hard to get and this one became available,  personally I would not have a white or black car. But we are all different thankfully.
I do like a colour that can be seen in bad light conditions

There are a few white exterior with white interior Jazz around.

Once he's fully set up I'll see.

After a month, rolled my car out of the dealership. The car was readily available but waited for the Rebate (NZD$4,140.00) for the NZ government to implement on 1st registered on April 1. Changed beforehand to platinum white instead.

It was the same colour that I like in their showroom that made me decide.

After a month, rolled my car out of the dealership. The car was readily available but waited for the Rebate (NZD$4,140.00) for the NZ government to implement on 1st registered on April 1. Changed beforehand to platinum white instead.

Hi NZ, nice car there.

I could not make up my mind between Opal Pearl and platinum white, although i'm leaning toward platinum white. May i know why did you eventually pick platinum white over Opal Pearl?

Also, are those door visors? Looks good, any review whether to have them or not. Cant see clearly, but your did not have the tailgate install right?

Please add Taffeta White between the options!
Thanks!

Just ordered an EX in crystal black. We were going to go for a SR, but really wanted the rear parking camera. So adding even more cost was not an option, so went for the standard black. Looks smart enough from the one we looked at. Still a 3 month wait for delivery though :(

The range of colours seems very limited. I guess down to try to keep already constrained production capacity up. Most other manufacturers seem to be doing the same. Kia are only offering the Soul in the UK in white at the moment!

Years ago I said I'd never have a black car.   I eventually bought a black Vauxhall Zafira and drove it for 4 years.   The Black Bomber grew on me.

With my new Jazz, the colours I wanted were either red or white.   It's black.   Black Bomber 2 is now growing on me!   I just couldn't justify the extra £800 for a nicer colour.

My issue with black is under the sun. Unless you put in the extra work at wash time then they can be 'swirl city'

A friend of a friend who was a chauffeur said they used to put a cap full of paraffin in the final rinse water to solve it.

I pick up my EX Style today... and it is the first 'dark' car I have ever owned. My trade in car was a Clio in Valencia orange!
To be honest, the choice of colours for the Jazz were quite disappointing. I have settled for Midnight beam, and it comes with black roof and trim. I have had a couple of Capturs that had black roof/trim, and they were ok. I know it will be a task to keep it looking clean especially with the approach of winter. I always use Autoglym Aqua, and its pretty good at repelling dirt.

Congrats!  ;D  I am waiting for my blue one which is said to be mid-September.

Bilt Hamber car shampoo and Meguiars Hybrid ceramic wax are you friend. We've got a black Mazda camper van and that combination of products keeps it looking tip top with very little effort.
The ceramic wax is awesome stuff and really easy to use. It is often on sale somewhere and I stock up then. I'll be using it on the Jazz when it eventually arrives tail end of November (hopefully!). It'll be the van's mini me :D

This male's colour perception may not be still at its best but unless I look carefully in the right "light" Midnight blue beam just looks black to me. So my black SR could be £650 cheap and I don't know the difference .

Like some others I was a bit disappointed with the limited colour options but in the end went for the metallic red. The Jazz looks good in this colour. However if choosing again I might have gone for a lighter option as the paint seems to chip quite easily exposing a white-ish undercoat. I suspect the chips from stones might have been less conspicuous with a lighter colour.

(But I guess one of the two white options might have been harder to keep clean.)

I traded this for the 2023 RS version and expected to have them by end of March.

Unfortunately there wasn't much choice when I decided to go for the light interior. So it became midnight blue. An awfully difficult color to photograph... It needs quite a bit of light, because otherwise you would think it is plain black.

Same as my issue but I wanted the dark interior.

What colour is your Mk4 Jazz?
 Just taken delivery of new Hybrid Ev in Premium Crystal Red, looks great with black part leather interior.
Must say not that struck on Jazz colours on offer. What happened to that lovely blue of my Mk 2.

Really wanted the light black and light interior so….midnight blue beam or whatever they call it.

I went for the Premium Sunlight White Pearl as the best of a very limited choice. Not sure whether it is white, blue or grey - depends a lot on angle of viewing and what the sun is doing. One thing for sure is it doesn't show dirt up.  I washed it yesterday (only so I could polish and Supaguard it) and I couldn't believe how dirty it was and yet it had looked reasonably clean.  I've had pure white, black brown, silver, dark blue coloured cars in the past and all have shown up any dirt. This sunlight colour just doesn't seem to.  Well pleased.

Keep looking closely and you will also see yellowish, goldish, etc. etc.  :o

Same colour here.  I too am really surprised at how little the external dirt shows.  Can't say the same for the interior though....

The colour code on my 22 plate Crosstar comes back as Opal white silver, have they changed the name of this colour?

N.B. AKA Premium sunlight white  ;D

Mine is Shining Grey Metallic which isn't an option listed in this thread, unless that is the same as "Pearl"?

P/S NH684P is Sparkle Grey Pearl
        NH880M is Shining Grey Metallic

Looking at the Honda New Zealand website, the Jazz is available in seven colours. Why do we only get a choice of four. The Jazz doesn't appear on the Australian site!

Fjord Mist looks really good. The choice of colours in available in the UK is very poor.

Fjord Mist, previously known as Surf blue, is uniquely a Crosstar colour in Europe.

Surf blue is different from fjord mist! It is more greyish and metallic. Saw both at my dealership; definitely not similar.

It is more greyish and metallic.
Unfortunately the same goes for "Premium Sunlight White Pearl" which is more grey metallic than white.

Beg to differ. The Premium Sunlight White Pearl, is a Pearl Pigment paint, not a metallic paint which contains Aluminium flakes. A pearl pigment is a Titanium Dioxide coated Mica and shows a flip/flop colour change depending on the light and viewing angle. The Sunlight White Pearl, is very white, but the flip/flop effect changes between a cool blue and a golden sheen. Maybe you consider the blue sheen as grey.

...In certain light it looks more like a putty colour but not really grey.

My Opel Corsa was  metallic 'nutmeg' brown. It was called nutmeg in German,which described it quite well  .In English it had a fanciful meaningless name.       90% of the time the car looked  an unremarkable metallic grey ,and in poor light a dull putty gray.       But on sunny days the brown  elements sparkled and the car constantly changed colours in a spectrum between Bronze, Champagne, Golden, etc    You never quite knew whether you would be returning to a grey car or a bronze one.    8)

Thank you for this clarification! (I was completely unaware of these details)

The Sunlight White Pearl, is very white, but the flip/flop effect changes between a cool blue and a golden sheen. Maybe you consider the blue sheen as grey.
Maybe I'm not the best judge of colour minutiae like the finer details between "blue and golden sheen" and simply grey  :D

However, having owned several truly white cars I can assure you that "Premium Sunlight White Pearl" is everything but white to me!

If you don't believe me, hold a sheet of white paper next to the car and then tell me again that the colour with the unspeakable name still apears white to you (regardless of the lighting conditions).

I think we should change the colour name of our Premium Sunlight White Pearl into Premium Sunlight Something Almost Like Maybe Whitish Pearl.
But actually I think the colour (or colours?) are very beautiful and William S. already said: What's in a etc....

Thank you for quoting the honourable bard!

That motivated me to go down into the garage and test my own theory  ;D

(please keep in mind that this picture was taken in the parking garage under artificial light - the effect in daylight would be even more convincing!)

Addendum: I snapped a shot of a neighbour's "white" VW for what I consider to be a "white" car (taken under even worse light conditions but the apparent (non)difference between the brightness of the sheet of paper and the car tells the story better than I ever could)

I'm not sure its entirely relevant but the Adelson checker illusion is interesting

Post by: coldstart on February 25, 2024, 03:27:22 PM
Interesting how our mind works!

In the present case I'd like to rule out the Adelson effect because there was no object casting a (partial) shadow over either the car or the sheet of paper.
