You need those numbers too. So there are numbers of each rod for their ID. There is letters on the block for the for the crank journals ID. There is number on the crank's front counter weight for all of the Rods and cranks journals. Put these together and you get what colors bearing you need.
Now my dumb question to you is.... Do you have an OEM service manual? This is clearly documented in that manual.

what color is this?
BBBB
33344
Got the manual, but dont understand how to get the color with this information? And not sure why there are 5 numbers and 4 letters..
Honda says main berrings are 5 and rod berrings are 4 but they need all the numbers and letters to get the color and their not sure why the code has 1 more number than letter...
BBBB

If that: BBBB
33344
is taken from the crank counterweight then you still need your mains bore code. That code is only for the cranks 9 journals (5 main 4 rod). The B's represent your piston rod journals and the numbers are for the Main bearing journals. Take off your oil pan and have a look around the face that bolts to the block (bottom right corner by memory) and you will see another 5 Letter stamps.
To get the colours use the charts in the service manual.
For example if your oil pan is stamped DDDDD, it means the colours you will need for the main journals are D3, D3, D3, D4, D4.
Then you need to get another number off each individual rod, and they go with the BBBB.
Make sure you understand this all fully before ordering bearings cause what you got so far isnt correct.
