Anyone here who can read Japanese?

Found some cool VHS demos of the Legend III/Acura 3.5RL on YT. There is a gorgeous blue pearl paint job in there that I can't get the name of due to not understanding Japanese. Appreciate any help.

Fortunately that's Katakana which is used for foreign words so you can "sound it out" and guess what it means. Using a Katakana chart you get: Pa-Shi-Fi-KKu Bu-Ru Pa-Ru. So "Pacific Blue Pearl?"

That colour seems to pop up when you Google search it with Acura (colour B68P) so that's my best guess. (I guess watching all that Japanese Anime came in useful after all.)

I went to a Japanese language school on Saturdays for 6 years as a kid and it never sunk in

You got that right. It also says 'Legend Euro excluded.'

Maybe they have a Mediterranean Blue.

Thanks everyone. Seems only the 4th gen Prelude and 1st gen TL got the color here in the US. Shame they never offered the RL in this color here in the US. So you have to guess with Katakana right? Interesting to know.

Also, it is Pacific Blue Pearl if anyone cares.
