The black for the 95 tegs was called Granada Black Pearl. It actually has some brown in it (I've got one). There was also Flamenco Black Pearl in the more recent tegs (00-01 I believe). It has a slight bluish/purplish tint to it at some angles.
You really need to be more specific. Honda/Acura has had several different "shades" of black on different models for different years. But to answer your question, no, they are not the same color.

I take back my previous statement. Grenada Black Pearl was a color offered on the 97 and older Preludes (97, 95, and 94 I think). So yes, a Honda dealer should have it. Just give them a call.

granada black pearl is black with a gold flake.

i believe this is how it goes..
- granada black pearl was available on integras from '93-'96.
- '97 it became black currant pearl, or flamenco black pearl. not sure which.
- flamenco black pearl in '98.
- and later, it became nighthawk black pearl. not sure on the years.

there is no difference between the honda and acura colors of the same type/year, as far as i know. a honda dealer should have the paint you're looking for, for your acura.

Forgot to mention, 90-93 Integra FBM was also used on Civic and CRX Si's of various earlier years (4G and maybe early 5G... maybe even in the late 3G Si's)

my favorite black that honda makes is Berlinetta Black. Offered only on NSX's. it is a straight black, no pearl, no flakes. gorgeous.
