What Platinum White Pearl looks like
Platinum White Pearl is a bright white with a subtle pearlescent sheen.

Common paint codes and how to verify yours
For Platinum White Pearl, Honda typically uses a code that indicates the pearl/pearlized white color. The most frequently cited code in service materials and owner forums is NH-883P, but exact codes can differ by model year and regional market. Always verify the code on your own vehicle to ensure an exact color match.
To help you locate the exact paint code, check these common places on the car:
- Driver’s side door jamb or a nearby door edge sticker
- Under the hood on the radiator support or near the fender/engine bay area
- In the glove box or trunk area on a data label
- Vehicle registration, owner’s manual, or service records for the factory color code
Knowing the precise code is essential for touch-up paint, resale, or ordering a matching can of paint. If the label is faded or missing, a Honda dealer can look up the correct code using the VIN.
What to do if the code isn’t legible or you’re shopping for touch-up paint
Take a few practical steps: photograph the data label, contact your local Honda dealer with your VIN, or bring the vehicle to a body shop that can read the code from the VIN sticker. When ordering paint, specify “Platinum White Pearl” and provide the exact code you find to avoid mismatches.

The paint code most commonly associated with this color is NH-883P, though codes can vary by model year and region.
