Nice pic man. Black P5's are nice but its still the red for me.

I have to go with yellow too, but only because the P5 does yellow THE RIGHT WAY!
I'm sure you've all seen those VW Bugs and occasionally other cars with that washed-out, faded looking yellow? I swear, everytime I see one of those volkswagens I just sigh. They seriously look like an easter egg that wasn't dyed well and has been sitting out in the sun for a week. Ugh.
If you're going to make a car yellow, or any bright color, for god sake, make it VIBRANT! You wouldn't give a sports car a washed-out "pink" color. No, you give it a deep red. Same with yellow. Mazda did a terrific job with the slightly darker shade but more vibrant yellow with the MP5. (thumb)

^^^ditto. The exact same thoughts of easter eggs come to my mind when I see a yellow new beetle (rofl2)

 

[RyanJayG]

yeah... vivid yellow = sex

 

[protegeV]

here are a few ugly yellows that come to mind:

 

[protegeV]

yeah... vivid yellow = sex

yup, bust can anyone tell me why it is sometimes called "sunburst yellow"

Someone even posted a full list of Mazda paintchips and it said "sunburst yellow - HZ"

I got a bottle of touch-up paint in the mail and it says "Vivid Yellow - HZ" on it.
Me=teh confoozed(huh)

Damn straight!

I've seen all those cars on the road in those colors too, and they just make me shudder...espcially the beetle and the mustang. Talk about a great way to ruin a great looking car, slap a coat of crappy washed-out paint.

Thank you Mazda for doing yellow right.

Laser Blue just SCREEMS look at me!

Sunburst (HZ) was first produced for the 1992 Miata Special Edition. Vivid Yellow (HZ) was available along with Laser Blue Mica as special 2002 USA only internet orders. Blazing Yellow Mica was a 2002 Special Edition available worldwide IIRC. Sunburst and Vivid - different names, same paint code.

Oh, and Laser Blue is the best colour for the P5. (thumb)

yeah, cept i saw it on these cars too...

350Z(Daytona Blue)

WRX(World Rally Blue)

Electron Blue Pearl(can be found on many cars)

 

[N2OInferno]

the Honda's electron blue doesn't look like Laser blue to me.. it kinda looks more pearly.

 

[LaserBluePro5]

All those other blues are just wannabees.

 

[akhilleus]

sunlight silver ... or laser blue

EBP was around before "laser" blue.

 

[iLisa]

midnight blue IS NOT a wannabe..

 

[jasinski]

wow, nobody likes midnight blue....*sniff*:'(

fallen into last place....nobody likes my car....

hehe jk. I guess its just an understated color, its still stylin tho.

Well.. I vote for midnight blue too. I think it is just a little bit different but still very catchy. Course that is what i drive, but I also like it. I would like to see a P5 in orange.

 

[RobMP5]

And we can't forget the Bright Atlantic Blue on the Focus, I loved it on my old ZX3. Blue is just one of those colors that look good on just about any car.

My car was midnight blue when I purchased it but I loved the Spicy Orange on the Mazda Speed and changed the color.
