The colour label only tells you the base colour. NH196 is (Ross) white, and R109 is (Passion) red.

If the label says NH-196 then it could be either red/white or blue/white, as there is no way outside of Honda to tell.... and good luck finding out! Some have claimed Honda sent them a confirmation letter, but I am very skeptical about that.

If it's an NH-196, just pick the colour you prefer. No one will be able to tell you any different. Even if the sticker says R109, there's still nothing to say the subframe wasn't damaged in a crash before, and replaced with a used one off a reb/black bike! In my opinion, so long as it's (relatively) stock it will be worth money once back to its former glory.

Standard bikes (maybe delimted, with a set of race pipes -- keep the original pipes!) are considerably more valuable than modified bikes.
