I have only seen one that color. A guy down the road from me had it.

There is another color I have only seen one of too and thats some brown color. It was very unique and I am pretty sure it was original.

I've seen a couple of those. It seems like they made a few ugly colors. Thank god that made so few and they are so rare.

I think the reason that seafoam green color is "rare" is because it sucks. There are about 5 billion Honda Accords and Civics in a similar color. Most of them are driven by grandmothers and ricers who are so happy to get themselves a Honduh, they don't even care what color it is.

Oh, and I have seen a couple of those "root beer brown" Maximas Mike is talking about, all GXEs. It's not too bad, really. Sort of 70s or early 80s ish looking, but better than granny green.

Paul (KlownPro) has/had a brown one, and the light green was also an 89-90 model only color. they were actually fairly popular 15 years ago, but faded quickly...

klownpr had the Sand Grey color which is a metallic tan/brown. I had the same on my 89GXE

my old car
Sand Grey only came on 89-91 or so.

I think the brown awsm66 is talking about was on later 3rd gens. I dont have my brochures here with me at work so I can't look it up to be sure.

According to my '89 brochure, the green color is "Silver Green Pearl"
Also, Craig must be right on the brown being a later model, the only one shown in this brochure is the "Sand Grey (Metallic)"

Well looking at paintscratch.com the color is Brown Pearl clearcoat and was only available in 91 & 92. That is definitely the color I saw that time.

There used to be a 1992 GXE on www.carsoup.com I should have saved it at the time to post it now. Its a mocha brown color that I thought didn't look bad, I think thats the one you're talking about?
