Honda UK is very conservative about colours. I liked the sunset orange option on the Mk 3 Jazz. A good colour for visibility but also didn't show the dirt. I wanted the surf blue option on the Crosstar as it's a distinctive colour but was over-ruled by female household members who wanted red. My wife evidently likes red as, when offered a choice of red cars in a car park she will invariably head towards the wrong one and I remind her that if we had the blue option then she wouldn't get confused.

My 2005 Jazz was yellow as in my avatar. I like yellow on the 'right' car. a yellow SUV would IMO just look like the old GPO truck colour. I have also owned two yellow Stags.
The thing I find, living in 'Costa del Geriatrica' is that at dusk or any poor light situation nearly ALL the cars that have not switched their lights on are either black or grey and too old to have running lights. I don't care if they kill themselves, but I don't want to be involved in their accident, because they can't be seen. Do they think it costs money to turn their lights? Does the penny not drop when every other car on the road has their lights on or are they simply brain dead?

Long, long ago they had fanciful colours at Honda. My favorite from the past:

I’ve always wanted a yellow car, but it’s not available on the Jazz.

I did come close to buying a civic (mark 9?) that was available in a yellow/gold colour for the editions near launch before it was dropped later.

I had one a Civic that colour, thou it still was not bright enough to stop someone driving into it while it was parked at the side of the road !!  >:(

after a lot of deliberation we went for the surf blue Crosstar. I wanted a black roof, but that was a long wait, so went for the surf blue roof. not regretted it, unique colour.  Little hard to keep clean at the back, looks very dull when the tailgate is dirty, but there you go.  Once cleaned looks amazing!  8)
