Need help identifying color!

Hey folks, i've been looking around everywhere on google, and here to determine what color/paint code this fc is. Its my neighbors and she's selling it and im very interested in buying it from her, but I wasn't sure if it was an OEM color, or if it was painted previously. She said it hasn't been painted.

Sorry, this is the only picture I have. It looks fairly close to the Honda Night Hawk Black color, but a tad more blue/purple.

Thanks!

if its 1990-1991, it'll have an airbag and be 5N brave blue metallic. its a really dark blue metallic with some purple thrown in, so it can look black, or blue depending on the light

I didn't think the vert's came in that color option though? Only black, red, white and the lighter blue? I could be mistaken, though. I've just never seen that color on a vert before.

Edit: Never mind. I'm an idiot. My bad! Good looking vert man. Hope it works out for you.

Pop the hood and look at the trim tag on the firewall for the paint code?

Idk man, your research might be a little off... Oh ****, look, he already did the research for you and even gave a detailed explanation to his findings!

So by your post, you are saying Brave blue mica, and brave blue metallic are the same, correct?
Oh ****, its NOT brave blue metallic!

Mica is the type of 'metallic' in most of today's urethane paints...
