Colour guide
Pearl - Snowflake white
Free
Snowflake white has a deeper, richer finish than the basic, solid Arctic white but does it really offer you all that much more? To be honest, not really and especially not when it costs a chunky extra amount.
Solid - Arctic white
Free
Small cars can get away with wearing white in a way that larger cars simply can’t, and although there’s the undeniable whiff of hire car about it, the Mazda 2 looks fairly smart in its only no-cost colour option.

Metallic - Ceramic
£560
With Ceramic, Mazda is following in the fashion for an almost matte-grey finish that can look, in certain lights, like someone’s forgotten to put a top coat on the primer. It’s smart enough, but arguably a bit too subtle for its own good.
Metallic - Platinum quartz
£560
Let’s be honest, this is really metallic beige but while that might awaken nightmares of mid-seventies British Leyland dross in some minds, actually it’s not at all a bad shade on the Mazda 2, looking fairly smart and really sparkling on a sunny day.
Metallic - Polymetal grey
£560
You could almost think of Polymetal as an adjunct to Ceramic, as there’s a faint hint of matte finish to it, and there’s enough blue under the top coat to make it look a little more interesting than most rival metallic greys. A decent colour choice.
Metallic - Sonic silver
£560
Does what it says on the tin — it’s a fairly handsome silver, with enough warmth and depth to the shade to make it look a bit more interesting than the offerings of some rivals. Not the most thrilling colour, but it works.
Mica - Deep crimson
£560
Deep crimson is a pretty fancy name for burgundy, but the Mazda 2 wears this blood-red shade rather nicely and there’s enough shine in the metallic mica flake that it doesn’t look turgid on a dull day. There is a better red option, though…
Mica - Deep crystal blue
£560
This is a very, very dark shade of dark blue that you could actually mistake for black on a dull day. It’s an OK colour, but to be honest we’d like to see a touch more life in it as the Mazda 2’s shape wears brighter colours well.
Mica - Eternal blue
£560
Eternal blue is slightly reminiscent of Mercedes’ Denim blue, in that there’s a hint of sea-green to it which gives it a bit more of a distinctive look than many other blue paint options. It’s nice enough, but not the 2’s strongest colour option.
Mica - Jet black
£560
The mica finish gives Jet black a very deep, lustrous effect but you have to be up close to really see it, and ultimately it’s just another me-too metallic black.
Metallic - Aero grey
£600
Metallic - Air stream blue
£600
Special metallic - Machine grey
£680
Yet another metallic grey? No — Mazda can be very good with colours when it wants to be, and Machine grey has a depth and a warmth that you don’t often find in this shade. A really strong colour, as it should be for the price.
Additional special metallic - Soul red crystal
£800
It’s a lot of money to spend on a paint option for a small car, but Soul red crystal — for years now Mazda’s signature colour — is just about worth it. The 2’s small size means you benefit less from it than on larger cars, but it’s a really gorgeous paint all the same.
