2016 Mazda MX-5 colors leaked

Six shades shown in what appears to be a Japanese brochure.

Color options for the 2016 Mazda MX-5 have leaked online. The source contains Japanese writing and appears to be a home market brochure.

Hot on the heels of an official spec announcement of the eagerly anticipated 2016 MX-5 Miata comes an image from a color chart in a printed catalog. There appears to be at least six body color choices: Soul Red Metallic, Meteor Gray Mica, Snow Flake White Pearl Mica, Jet Black Mica, Dynamic Blue Mica, and Sunflower Yellow.

Soul Red is the color that pre-production prototypes have used as their showcase hue, but also an identifying shade on other cars like the Mazda2, Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 and CX-3. As on those vehicles, it appears there will be a extra cost item added onto the sticker price. Though no pricing has been announced, Soul Red carries a $300 premium on the Mazda6.

Several of the colors have names plucked from the outgoing generation MX-5. Black Mica was a limited edition 2005 Mazdaspeed color, while Meteor Gray was on the 2014-15 MX-5 palette. Of course, these are the names for the Japanese market, and automakers are known to change official color names to make them more in sync with local tastes.
