Honda Beat Paint Colors
Aoshima did really nice scale models of the Honda Beat and of its Mugen version.
As far as I can tell the Mugen version was not offered in other colors than the standard version.
This list provides paint codes of most versions of the Beat, I found some cars online with colors that I have not yet catagorized, I put those at the end of the list.
A downloadable scan of the 1991 Japanese dealer brochure of the Honda Beat can be found at the AutoCatalogArchive.com website.
The picture shows a 1991 Beat in Carnival Yellow.
