Candy Jade Green.
Oddjob:
Odd looking at the brochure how Honda adapted the wording to suit the market. In my UK parts book Starlight gold is spelled like that, but on the brochure it's spelled Starlite, plus colours doesn't have the U in it. That's clearly a European market brochure though as it mentions a passing light switch which of course the yanks didn't get. Also missing the grab rail.
Got to say most of the rats I've seen were grey, wonder why they didn't call it Battleship Grey instead. Saw a modern Honda car in that colour a couple of years ago and it looked awesome. One of my C50s was rat grey, great colour

Only good clean fun banter Johnny ;D ;D ... Freedom green metallic will certainly be cheaper than candy although I am not familiar with it.

Indeed Ash! Freedom green metallic was available to the early CB550 and also the Cb750 but possibly the American market. It’s a nice deep green. Apparently RS Paints hadn’t heard of it either but after contacting them they asked if I could send them something with the original colour, but I don’t have anything available to send.

Yamiya do the Freedom Green kits. Not a colour we had in the UK model range but quite popular in USA.

I think I may have cover for The 500 in that colour you could borrow, that I will eventually paint Starlight Gold.. Problem is ..last time I loaned RS a NOS part to match, they subsequently lost it and made no apologies for doing so.

Thanks Ash! I think once bitten and all that. No apologies either!😡😡 I will try and source from elsewhere rather than risk any precious parts going astray or getting broken. Especially someone else’s parts.
