That color combo feels very late 80s early 90s, so good job there.
Does kinda feel a bit old-man colors, though?

What do you get that special someone on their 35th anniversary? Traditionalists say coral, the more modern crowd says jade, but if you are Mazda, you offer an all-new limited-edition model.
2025 marks the 35th anniversary of the Miata, and Mazda is celebrating with the 2025 MX-5 Miata 35th Anniversary.
Based on a Grand Touring MX-5 and available only with a six-speed manual, the 35th Anniversary model comes finished in Artisan Red Metallic paint (borrowed from the CX-90) and comes fitted with a beige convertible top and 17-inch wheels in a bright finish.
Inside, the MX-5 features tan Nappa leather seating embossed with a 35th Anniversary logo on the headrests, plus tan carpeting and floor mats.
Likewise, the interior trim is finished in the same Artisan Red Metallic paint that is applied to the outside of the car.
As the 35th Anniversary model is based on the Grand Touring, creature comforts like heated seats and Bose audio are standard, as are an asymmetric limited-slip differential, shock tower bracing and sport-tuned Bilstein dampers.
With only 300 examples set to be available for the United States, the MX-5 Miata 35th Anniversary will be “one of the most exclusive MX-5 Miata models to ever make it stateside,” according to Mazda.
Starting price? $36,250, or about $1620 more than the MX-5 Grand Touring.
The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata 35th Anniversary serves as the centerpiece of Mazda’s car corral featuring customer vehicles and a “curated collection of some of the world's finest MX-5 Miata examples” at the Rolex 24 At Daytona this weekend.

It looks like a throwback to the 1995 M Edition "peanut butter & jelly".
I remember the first time my Dad and I saw a Miata back in 1989. We didn't recognize the badge on the nose, but right away we knew it was something new and special. All these years later and it still it's still just as special--a little gem of a sports car in a sea of SUVs.
They did a good looking NB special edition in purple too
The more purple cars on the road, the better!

100%, it's a 1995 M, 30 years later. And a 2000 SE, 25 years later.
It's not a bright sports car color, but the M editions never were. They were the grown up Miatas. At least it's a color and not Prosthetic Limb Mica.
I prefer the orange 30AE
I was looking at the website and saw this - I love the color.
It's about time Mazda started making special editions of the Miata.
