The Sunburst Yellow and Vivid Yellow have the same color code, what is different?
Both of these colors are the exact same, the name Vivid Yellow is used in the United States (and probably some other countries) while Sunburst Yellow is used in Canada, Australia, Japan and possibly other overseas countries. The names used are probably for marketing purposes for the Protege/Familia/323 lineup. This however is not true for another Mazda car such as the MX-5/Miata/Roadster because in 1992 there was a limited run of Sunburst Yellow Miatas and just recently for a special web order version of the 2002 Miata, Vivid Yellow is available. For the Miata’s, what differentiates between these two names is the use of clear coats– the 1992 Sunburst Yellow Miata did not use clear coat, but the 2002 Vivid Yellow Miata limited does. The color is the same though. It is not known at this time whether this applies for the Protege/Familia/323 lineup basing on the clear coat use or just marketing purposes.
