Default What color is Bamboo Pearl to you?

Is it green? or tan? Do you wish you have gotten a different color?

Depends on the reflection of the sun. Can be green or silver. I have one and really love it.

Boy, that's a good question. I've had my Bamboo Pearl 05 RX for almost 2 years now. Over that period of time I've found my car at times looks green, silver, tan, blue and even some other colors in-between. It appears to change as the light changes. For all of the above colors given, I love the Bamboo color ! I think the color even looks clean when dirty.
My wife sees it as green most of the time...

To me, it looks light green in a bright day and more silver in a cloudy day or at night.

Thanks for all of your replies. We have a Bamboo (AWD, Plus, Nav, HH) coming in for us in a few days and I was having second thoughts on the color. Breakwater was our first choice. I am thinking we will go for the Bamboo.

The MVB lists it as green on the registration, but you can only see the green in certain lights.

I agree with all the above. It is different from the rest of the neighborhood, which is mostly black (and the many variations that look black) RXs.

We named our RX "Chameleon" as soon as we got her! The only problem is, at dusk she looks the same color as titanium silver "GarageMaster" (the GX) next to her in the garage.

I have a Bamboo Pearl 350 and it never looks dirty! Most of the time it looks silvery green to me. I don't think you'll be sorry with your choice, although I did see a Breakwater Blue on the road the other day and it looked really sharp. As does the Flint Mica - but it might not be as forgiving with outside dirt. The Bamboo Pearl has a light beige interior, which will show smudges ect... But I still love mine.

I love the Bamboo Pearl!

Green during a bright day and silver when cloudy.

We have an 04 Bamboo Pearl 330 and love the color. We think the different appearances in the different lighting conditions is really neat.
