HHonda offers a small palette of classic Type R colors, and the choices vary with each generation. The latest FL5 (2023–present) comes in five factory colors: Championship White, Rallye Red, Boost Blue, Crystal Black Pearl and Sonic Gray Pearl【104576743551736†L190-L193】. These hues mix heritage with modern appeal; Championship White traces its roots to Honda’s racing livery, while Boost Blue and Sonic Gray give the current Type R a contemporary edge.
The previous FK8 generation (2017–2021) featured colours like Championship White, Rallye Red, Aegean Blue Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl and Polished Metal Metallic. Special editions brought unique shades—2021’s Limited Edition was painted in Phoenix Yellow to pay homage to the EK9’s iconic Sunlight Yellow. Earlier models such as the FD2 Type R mostly offered Championship White and Vivid Blue Pearl.
When shopping for a Type R, consider how the colour affects resale and maintenance. Lighter colours like white highlight the car’s body lines but show dirt and brake dust quickly; darker shades like black and Sonic Gray offer a stealthy look but may reveal swirl marks. Rare colours such as Phoenix Yellow or Boost Blue can add collectability, but you should still choose the colour that you’ll enjoy seeing in your driveway and at the racetrack.
