(y) and welcome to the forum. :)

Sonic Pearl Gray is turning out to be a very popular color for Honda these days. I see lots of late model Civics and CRVs around here in the Sonic Gray. Used to be White Pearl was the local color of choice for CRVS and Red for Civics, but it appears right now the gray is more popular.

What I observe in bright sunlight is that the gray also gives off a subtle rainbow like iridescent effect across the painted surface as well as sunlight reflects off of it, courtesy of the tricoat pearl finish.

I have only seen this effect on Hondas in gray.... so I gather other brands sporting gray are probably not pearl finish like your CRV is.
