Those are just short for color options: WDP = White Diamond Pearl; KBP = Kinetic Blue Pearl , etc...

Welcome, the TL-S is a great car!

I love NBP, but in the sun you can see every dam imperfection on the paint. It would drive me crazy on my Black cars, I had to get my TL in AM.

Why not just call your car white/black/silver/etc instead of those silly acura names?

I have NBP as well! It does look sexy, but it gets a scratch on it if I look at it too hard! Talk about fragile! But I wouldn't trade it for another color. I guess that I will have to spend a little cash on a good detail!

I think those are color designations:

WDP = White Diamond Pearl

KBP = Blue

NBP = Black = Adios in '09

etc ....

Because Redondo Red and Moroccan Red aren't the same thing and Satin Silver is different from Alabaster Silver.

I call mine "silver" everywhere else, but use the Acura paint initials "SSM" (Satin Silver Metallic) here on AZ since the AZ fanatics know the silver color was changed to ASM on '06.

Because a simple, "Black" or "Gray" doesn't justify the color. For example, night hawk black pearl, has a hint of blue I believe. Other colors have this variation too, not just blue but w/e. That's why it's not a simple "black" or "gray" =D
