Default Explain the S2000 paint colors please

I was doing some research on Berlina to find out why Honda came up with that name for the black paint color. I know the other colors are named after famous racing tracks around the world but I can't find the answer for Berlina. Maybe its an old Italian race track that is not so popular anymore. Anyone know why Honda picked Berlina as the name for the black paint?

Berlina is Italian for "sedan", and a lot of sedans come in black, so I think that's the origin of the color's name. So it's "Sedan Black". Anyone know for sure?

I didn't know that Silverstone was a race track in the UK until this thread.
Thanks.
I learn something new every day on this board.

Here's an interesting link to some info about Silverstone:

For those that are curious, "Spa" is a track in Belgium.
