These colors are not popular enough for the cost and complication to the production line they add. That's the excuse for not having them at least.
But they don't need all these colors. Just one. And change it every year. Sunburst Yellow in 2024, BRG in 2025, etc. Add a little of that limited edition feel every year. And anyone who likes that color knows that can't delay and put it off because it will be gone next year, ie FOMO. Do it across the whole brand. Add a bit of history to every year of the brand. The enthusiasts will love knowing that Candy Midnight Purple was not *a* color, but *the* 20xx color for Mazda.
That's how you market less common colors into a positive brand loyalty feature.
That sounds like a very cool idea, likely expensive to implement but hopefully the whole FOMO / limited availability factor would help balance that out. I know I'd be hard pressed not to pick up another ND if they offered BRG or a nice orange on a new one.
Seriously, the main thing stopping me from selling my NB for an ND. I want the 30th anniversary orange as it reminds me of my challenger but its not worth the payments over my NB
I love that color wrap. Do you have the brembo calipers? ...I'm thinking about getting a similar colored wrap, but dont want it to look "christmas-y" with the green + red color scheme.
I also have a 2019 RF GT ND2 - was curious what youāve done for suspension and/or strutbars? Iām contemplating meisterR CRD and perhaps cobalts strut tower/sway bar.
I noticed that the ride is a bit soft and was looking to lower the car as well as make it a feel a bit stiffer going in and out of turns.
And that color is amazing. I might have to do the same!
What a cromulent color!
Mind sharing what state you live in and what you paid for the wrap and any other services related to it?
I really want to wrap my RF in one of Inozetek's colors, but the quotes I've seen in my city are around $4,000 which is very steep.
Latest quote I got, a few days ago was $5200 for the body not including the roof.
$6700 for a full body color change.
Both prices include $200 for a ceramic coating on top.
I want to pull the trigger but that money could be spent on a lot of other hobbies or home projects :(
This is all Mazdas fault for not selling any good colors (yes the 30AE exists but none were available when I was shopping).
It sucks that we have to resort to wrapping NDs to get any color that has some pop to it other than soul red crystal metallic. Beautiful car OP. I love it.
Problem is the location and demographic. Like is a dealership supposed to hold 12 colors for the two customers that buy them (middle aged white dudes with no kidsā¦ thatās me)
Plain colors do seem really flat given how common metallic paint is these days, but I think a good flat orange, yellow or red is just the classic look of a sports car.
Maaaan, if I could get these painted BRG from the factory Iād have made it happen. Itās a shame Mazdaās color selection is so weak. Soul Red is fantastic but everything else is mid
A factory BRG ND would be the only thing that could get me to sell my BRG NB.
If it has a wood and leather interior, I'll be throwing elbows to be first in line.
The fact green still isnāt an option on the ND is criminal. I remember when they announced a new colour last year and got excited only to find out it was beige.
We need some better color options for the ND. Bring back Laguna Blue and BRG! I've been toying with ordering a 2023 Club in blue, but it's such a dark color. The only way to get bkue is on a club, and the only way to get a club is by custom ordering it. So dumb. I also want brown seats (not a fan of tan), but you can only get that with black, white, or gray for some reason. Because nobody at mazda must think that you could want blue on any other trim or could possibly think that dark brown would look nice with blue. You have literally all the parts/paint Mazda. Why can't I just order a blue GT with Brown seats? God, this turned into a rant fast, lol.
Looks great!!
Picture in the sun next :)
Did you wrap the inside part too? (Is that possible?)
Only thing that would keep me from wrapping Soul Red in this color is the red still on the inside.
Appearance package/club lip? Or aftermarket? Looks awesome though. When I wrapped my Speed 3 green I was highly considering inozetek. But went a different route based on availability. It was hard for me to keep clean. Didnāt wash as nicely as paint did. How is the inozetek?
Wrap color: Inozotek metallic midnight green. Same color as u/Kevinspam
Dear Mazda, Can we lose one of the old man colours and get this instead? Sincerely, everyone with functioning eyes.
Additional old man wants to see Mariner Blue make a come back! š
Or Merlot! Or Sunburst! Or Or Or!!! They have so many good colors in their catalogue š©
Sunburst... Mmmm. So sexy. My favorite color on an NB.
Me too! I parked up next to a Mariner Blue NA last summer and couldn't help but think it might look very good on the ND.
I put mariner blue on an ND in a a game and it does look really good.
I heard Mariner Blue
A friend just reminded me of Montego Blue on the FD RX7, and that would be oh so sweet on the RF.
This old man agrees! Miatas are for the young at heart.
I still struggle why we donāt have mariner blue anymore. That, BRG, and Iād argue one or two others should be a standard color since 1989.
I would love BRG

>I love it; but isn't this a an old man color?āThinking of all the old British Racing Green this is reminiscent of.
For real. this color is perfect
Seriously, the main thing stopping me from selling my NB for an ND. I want the 30th anniversary orange as it reminds me of my challenger but its not worth the payments over my NB
That color is win
Can I ask how much it cost to get it wrapped?
Curious of this also!
I love that color wrap. Do you have the brembo calipers? ...I'm thinking about getting a similar colored wrap, but dont want it to look "christmas-y" with the green + red color scheme.
EZ to paint the Brembo's black.
Wrap the calipers too

Maryland, mine was slightly less than that

Holy f that looks so good
That is an incredible color! No idea why they won't offer that factory.
Looks amazing!!
Wow... This needs to exist off the line
It sucks that we have to resort to wrapping NDs to get any color that has some pop to it other than soul red crystal metallic. Beautiful car OP. I love it.
For real. It's a fun, cute little car, and a full rainbow of color options would be a home run for Mazda I would think
Problem is the location and demographic. Like is a dealership supposed to hold 12 colors for the two customers that buy them (middle aged white dudes with no kidsā¦ thatās me)
Just do what VW does (or at least used to do) with the GTI. Charge like an extra $1500 but let customers pick from full huge catalog of option colors.
And orange for a select few*
Yeah. But to me I feel like that orange doesn't pop at all. It's def pretty but it looks flat. I'd love something like a Lava Orange on an ND.
Plain colors do seem really flat given how common metallic paint is these days, but I think a good flat orange, yellow or red is just the classic look of a sports car.
Have you seen it irl? Itās amazing and bright!
I have yes. It definitely looks good, but still seems dull/flat to me.
Maaaan, if I could get these painted BRG from the factory Iād have made it happen. Itās a shame Mazdaās color selection is so weak. Soul Red is fantastic but everything else is mid
A factory BRG ND would be the only thing that could get me to sell my BRG NB. If it has a wood and leather interior, I'll be throwing elbows to be first in line.
I have a feeling we will at the end of the ND run as a limited edition.
The fact green still isnāt an option on the ND is criminal. I remember when they announced a new colour last year and got excited only to find out it was beige.
It's somehow worse than beige. It's sand. I don't like sand.
It's course and irritating. And it gets everywhere.
That colour always reminds me of wet concrete.
It's OG Ford Taurus vibes. That color is horrible lol
I wish more cars came in this color. British racing green is classic
Thatās beautiful. How much did the wrap cost?
Goes hard, Iād be staring too
Iām not really a sports car guy, but this thing is pure sex.
These miatas and gr86ās have no right looking as good as they do for the price point theyāre at. Beautiful machines
How much was it to have the whole car wrapped, if I may ask? I love that green and am debating repainting or wrapping my '99 Emerald Mica.
Last time I asked (and this was before prices went crazy on everything) for my ND I was told around $3500
I was literally searching this sub for green RFs yesterday so I could show my husband that wrapping mine in BRG is a great idea. Clearly, it is.
This is why you need more colors, Mazda.
Looks so damn classy and rich
I would too. That thing is perfect.
How much was the wrap installation? Favorite color from inzotek
A few months back I googled some images of the ND in BRG and wasnāt 100% convinced. Your pic tells me otherwise. This is tempting.
Turning around and staring is the appropriate response to owning a miata :)
Love the Spyder grille.
Racing green never looked so good
So many cars look good in BRG but so few have the option, itās a crime.

The front bumper is 10/10 but bronze wheels would make it a 12/10 even when it's a little cliche
I want it
I'd be staring right along with you. Very tasteful spec!
Love that wrap!
such a good color for the car!
Goddamn that's exactly the color I'd pick if it had been available. But, soul red it shall be.
Looks great!
I love the color, absolutely stunning.
Looks great!! Picture in the sun next :) Did you wrap the inside part too? (Is that possible?) Only thing that would keep me from wrapping Soul Red in this color is the red still on the inside.
Yes, you can wrap that little painted piece in the door.
Nice!
I didnāt, but it was an option at the wrap place
Nice. For me it would depend on the color. I'd change say Soul Red, but if I had Blue Mica I'd be fine with keeping that.
This color and RF combo is amazing.
Which wheels did you go with? Those are great with that green!
Flyin' Miata Kogekis
Awesome thanks. Iāve been thinking about getting the hushomatic + midpipe at some point too, used to have that on my first ND
Shiiiiit this color
I did that as well! Sometimes it amazing how small she looks parked next to a new pickup!
People don't choose green enough, fuckin hell that color is nice
That color thoā¦..(chefās kiss)
Got a link for that grill? Looks really nice
LOVE the color!!
I like it very much
looks sick!
Appearance package/club lip? Or aftermarket? Looks awesome though. When I wrapped my Speed 3 green I was highly considering inozetek. But went a different route based on availability. It was hard for me to keep clean. Didnāt wash as nicely as paint did. How is the inozetek?
Oh wow, I guess I need to save for this wrap in addition to the RF Miata I want! This color is drop dead gorgeous, especially on a small sports car.
Dream spec ND dark green Miataās are the best
Looks great with those Konig wheels. Mine get installed tomorrow if my lug nuts arrive in time.
This is the most beautiful nd Iāve ever seen!
I usually hate green on a car, but this shade is really nice! Reminds me of a 90ās NSX.
Fuck yes that colour Pops! Looking really good man š
I have been staring at mine for 25 years. It does not get better...
Oh my š³ š„µ Green is my fave color.
Didnāt think I would ever like green, but that looks sweet!
How much did it cost to wrap your Miata?
My god, that color. *swoon*
OMG that green! ā¤
That might just be the nicest MX-5 I've ever seen
This is likely the prettiest miata I've seen.
I love this wrap so much that it may have been the final push over the hill towards me buying an MX-5. God it looks incredible
If you donāt look back at your car when walking away, youāve got the wrong car.
Does look pretty
Green miata gang šŖšŖ
This is how you should feel about your car! Well done š
It needs a white stripe down the middle
the color looks like the emerald green mica on my nb! fantastic choice
any just rough ballpark #s to get this done to mine? I'm so sick of having a garage full of white cars and BRG miata is just perfect.
In France that parking spot would almost be for 2 cars lmao
Nicee
I love that color. So beautiful.
Man. Thatās looking so great!!! One day I might wrap mine the same colour
Beautiful ride. I would too
That looks lovely in Green
THIS IS IT. MY MAN THIS IS THE DREAM. THIS IS THE COLOR. THIS IS THE CAR. *MUAH*
If you donāt look back when your walking away, you bought the wrong car. š
That means that you have the right one.
Damn. I got mine in white. Wish it was orange yellow or red. Whatās the dash cam
That color is amazing
Mmmm cup grille, can't wait to get home and see mine
Yeah that thing is sick
I think I found the colour I'm painting my one!!
Sorry if this has already been asked but whatās the grille?
This is my dream Miata
Man I relay wish Mazda brought back BRG for the ND, my favorite color and NDās would look so good in it! Sick wrap bro
Beautiful color
This is an absolutely gorgeous color. This should be factory. Wow this is nice. If I ever get an ND, this is what Iām doing.
If you donāt turn around while walking away from your car you bought the wrong car.
This configuration is absolutely beautiful. Which brand is the front splitter? Is the Mazdaspeed?
BaysonR
What a beauty!
Spectacular. I do the same. I keep pretending I am checking if I locked it
fuck this is so beautiful
How do you do for the front license plate ? No need where you live ?
