Colors and the Abbreviations?

What are the colors people on the boards abbreviate to shorten up?

NBP = Nighthawk Black Pearl

What are all of the color combo's?

I have the Polished Metal Metallic.

Anyone care to share so I don't feel like an idiot when people are talking colors?

Thanks

i dont think that is an actual color. i think most names have a "pearl" in them.

WDP - white diamond pearl

CBP - carbon bronze pearl

KBP - kinetic blue pearl

and so on...

The 2008 Manual Lists:
White Diamond Pearl
Polished Metal Metallic
Alabaster Silver Metallic
Nighthawk Black Pearl
Royal Blue Pearl
Moroccan Red Pearl
Bold Beige Metallic
Carbon Bronze Pearl
Kinetic Blue Pearl

Guess I should have just reached for my brochure first.

YUP, Polished Metal Metallic is definitely a color

Some others that have been used over the years:

DGP = Deep Green Pearl (discontinued in 2005, IIRC)
RRP = Redondo Red Pearl
ABP = Abyss Blue Pearl (the original blue)
AM = Anthracite Metallic

Just say "no" to pearl.

In 2008 I think Anthracite is called Polished Metal Metallic.

Or am I not getting it? I bought the polished metal metallic.

They look really similar. I think PMM is a little darker and an improvement in the formula.

Is it just me, or are over half of the 2004-08 TLs Dark Gray? (Not sure the official names for each year.) Is there a list of the build allocation of colors for each year anywhere? Would be interested in seeing this for TSX, too...

Bold beige is a darker, almost bronze-ish gold that was available for the 07-08 after Desert Mist was discontinued for 06
