What NH731P represents in Honda’s color system
The NH731P code identifies a specific black with pearl/mica in the clear coat, giving depth and a subtle reflective sheen rather than a flat solid black. The “P” suffix generally signals a pearl (metallic) effect within Honda’s color catalog, and the numeric portion pinpoints Crystal Black Pearl as the exact shade.
Official name versus market-specific naming
Honda's official color catalog typically calls the shade Crystal Black Pearl. Some dealerships or regional marketing materials label the same color as Crystal Black Pearl Metallic or Crystal Black Metallic. The underlying hue remains the same, but the wording can differ by country and model year.
How to verify the color on a vehicle
To confirm NH731P on a specific car, check the paint-code sticker usually located in the driver’s door jamb or inside the glove box. The sticker lists the code (NH731P) and the corresponding color name used by the manufacturer. When shopping used, request confirmation of the paint code and compare it to Honda’s official color catalogs to avoid confusion with similarly named blacks.
