Rare Colors
just wondering what you guys out there think are fairly uncommon factory colors to find a 7 in. off the top of my head, i think that persimmon red, solar gold, maya gold, havanna brown, desert brown, and ocean blue are pretty uncommon. any others that you guys can think of that are pretty rare to see? any pics you'd like to post of a 7 with a rare color would be pretty cool!

Here's a better shot of the Hawaiian Orchid color. The car is pretty beaten up after all these years. 
Belongs to my SO. He's hoping to fix it up to its former glory some day soon.

I know there are quite a few blue colors that the 7 came in, I haven't seen many in (I think ) soft blue.
Also, does anyone know where I can get the bronze paint?

Ever get stuck on a color? Ever since I bought my SA back in '80 I have loved the color. When I got the second and third gen they got the same treatment. Trimmed with black and tinted windows makes them look much better. Unfortunatly, I sold the SA to a guy in Texas - I wish I had it back.

I really don't know for a fact...I got the Y5 from a PM I received from 7aull several months ago...perhaps he can weigh in:

sonic bronze = "Y5" according to my 79 Mazda Parts Book...

ok, cool. that clears up that issue. perhaps Y9 was Copper....i cant remember off the top of my head.
64mgb, as for the paint code being on the 79's, i believe trochoid mentioned that it was on an underhood deacal. you may want to check there and post back

Sharp looking car.
Similar to the 2nd RX-7 that I owned which was a 83 S model.

Rich, my SAs the same color as yours. The code is Y5. The color code sticker for mine is located under the hood, near the lubrication specification sticker on the spark plug side of the car. Yours must have fallen off, as mine is pealing and I'm shocked its still there.
