Wasn't it Rubber Grey Metallic?

Rubber grey metallic is the paint's Honda description. There is no mixing code.

A close match is a Kia colour, Sage Green Metallic. A good paint shop will have the code- my local hole in the wall joint didn't.

I think a US car called a Kia Sedona had that paint

Hi Iain I checked what paint colour was used on my XR75's it was Hyundai SMOKY GREY METALIC 2000-2002 model year, we matched the paint using a spectrum analyser with some nos xr75 parts.

Interesting. They may have same code different, color names for different markets. Calling that rubber grey  'sage green' doesn't make sense....

The smoky gray metallic has a green tinge to it the same as the OEM rubber gray Honda colour.
