Mazda has developed a new body colour, Zinc Green Metallic, which will make its debut on the Mazda MX-5 Roadster and RF in Japan before rolling out to other markets.
The new shade is described by Mazda as a modern green that combines toughness and refinement, while still blending into both urban and outdoor environments.
Mazda says the colour “takes its inspiration from the colour and texture of zinc chromate primer, an undercoat used to enhance the durability of industrial products”.
“In low-light conditions, its solid-like texture creates a tight, powerful impression, while in bright light, the delicate metallic sheen accentuates the body’s sculptural beauty, resulting in a sophisticated and modern overall appearance,” Mazda says.
“To achieve this effect, the colour formulation incorporates bluish metallic flakes, with optimised particle size and alignment to deliver a cool, refined tone.”
