Green Ridgeline?

I would take a real and light green exterior (not the grey/green Forest Mist, and definitely not a dark green), except I’d keep the beige cloth interior I have in my ‘17.

The problem with Green and other colors like Gold and Beige colors is that over time they tend to be colors that just don't say much for the vehicle and for me become old and uninteresting. I think color says a lot about a person, dull colors usually match the persons personality and life style and they purchase there vehicles for transportation needs only. Where more vivid colors are for those who are vehicle minded and like the driving experience of a nice vehicle and makes them feel good about driving, they want to standout among others. I do like back in the days when you had 4-5 interior color choices, today your luck if you get two.

Well, Honda currently has, for the Ridgeline: two colors (red and blue), white, black and four shades of gray. It would be very nice to have more color, and green is a color. When was the last time Honda had a green vehicle? Forest Mist doesn't count, it didn't even have enough green to put it in the name!
My wife's 15yo "bold beige" gold Accord still looks very fresh and modern.
Jalopnik had an article a while back about how colorful cars were actually easier to sell than the mundane cars. However, people still buy the mundane cars because they still think resale will be better (like beige carpets and off-white walls in houses). They keep buying boring colors, so dealers keep ordering boring colors, so mfrs keep offering boring colors. It's a heckuva Catch-22 to get out of...

I agree entirely. I thought by now the buying public would have broken out of this overly-long non-color fashion trend where nearly every vehicle offered is a shade of grey. Even “colors“, if offered, are sometimes so muted, greyed out, or dark that you can hardly tell what color it is.
Our car is lime green. We never get tired of it. It is almost unique and personalized, and extremely easy to locate in a parking lot full of white, grey, and black cars. We’re keeping it as long as we can, or until manufacturers offer colored cars again. I will give credit to the Jeep product line for occasionally offering some actual colors on some models.
I saw an orange Tesla one day and almost immediately went on line to see if I could purchase one. Nope, Tesla was mainly offering mainstream mundane colors. The one I saw must have been custom wrapped. Sigh . . .

Whatever floats your boat. All you have to do is look back in time. Bright solid colors, metailic colors, flat solid colors, all different kinds of custom graphic on the side..........

I like my Mr. Green Jeans.
Green is not my choice but OK if you want one. But - Honda (are you listening?) - please get rid of those cheap dull grey wheels. They are so darn ugly.
