Honda Activa 110: Colours Explained

The Honda Activa 110 is one of those scooters that you’ll frequently see on Indian roads. In fact, it has been Honda's best-selling scooter in India for several years. Its neutral design means if you want to grab attention, you’ll have to rely on colours more. All of its six shades are shared across the STD, DLX and H-Smart variants, with prices starting from Rs 76,083 (variant-wise prices at the end of the story).

Pearl Precious White

This one’s a simple, clean white that suits most tastes. It's a safe pick if you don't want to overthink the colour decision, but beware of the dirt and grime that’ll be visible in such a bright colour.

Pearl Igneous Black

A straightforward black that keeps the Activa looking neat without drawing attention. It's the shade most people would want to go with when they'd rather not spend too much time deciding.

Decent Blue Metallic

Honda's own name for this one is "Decent Blue," which is a fair description. It's a calm, muted shade that doesn't try to stand out.

Rebel Red Metallic

The brightest option in the range, and a bit more expressive than the rest of the lineup. If you want something with a little more presence, this is probably the one.

Mat Axis Gray Metallic

This matte grey is a step away from plain black without being too bold. It also tends to hide small, light scuffs and swirl marks better than a glossy finish.

Pearl Siren Blue

This one is noticeably darker than Decent Blue Metallic, and looks more premium in my opinion. Out of all the shades, I like this one better as it offers the perfect balance of being fancy & lowkey.

All six are available whether you go for the STD variant at Rs 76,083, or the DLX at Rs 86,360, or the H-Smart at Rs 91,082 (all ex-showroom Delhi).

Mechanically, every Activa 110 uses the same 109.51cc engine, making 7.9PS and 9.05Nm, paired with an automatic gearbox. Braking comes from drums on both wheels across the range. Feature-wise, the STD keeps things basic, with analogue console and steel wheels, although a USB-C charger is available as an option. The DLX adds a TFT meter, alloy wheels and USB-C charging as standard. 

The H-Smart gets all of these features, along with a Smart Key, Bluetooth connectivity and Honda's RoadSync app for navigation (turn-by-turn), calling and music controls. So really, colour on the Activa is the fun part. The bigger decision is which variant fits your budget and how much tech you really want.
