Default cv joint lube

What kind of grease does honda use on the 5G cv joints? When I pulled the inner boot, it was a very thin, light green grease. I'd like to replace with same.

Honda stared using a different supplier for the CV joint grease, it's actually cream coloured now. It was formerly black.

It's just standard bearing packing grease.

That's what I thought. I was surprised when I pulled the boot and it started dripping off and hitting the floor. It was almost like 90 weight but green.
