Mazda announced its new body color called Zinc Green Metallic on May 31, 2026. MX-5 with soft top and MX-5 RF with openable hard top were announced as the first models to use this color.

The development team was inspired by the color and texture of zinc chromate primer used in industrial products. By adjusting the size and placement of bluish metallic particles in the formula, the intense appearance in shadow is balanced with the metallic effect under strong light.

The brand states that this will be the first green color for the fourth generation MX-5. The news is about design and paint development; It does not interpret the color as a mechanical update or a new engine option. Country-specific order and delivery information is not included in the scope of the description.
