Great looking Merc ... what color is it?

[compos mentis]

This color is starting to grow on me ... to put on something. Almost like a green Rad Rides would use. Anyone know what color it is? Always liked 52-53 Mercs...this one seems to be exceptional.

Thanks,

Looks like Lime Green to me.

Yep.

Just wondering if someone might be familiar with it and have a color name/paint code/manufacturer...that kind of info.

It was real popular on 67-68 Fords,you may find someone with the old paint books with it.

I remember that color, but this almost seems like it has a little 'candy' in it..

When the second gen Mitsubishi Eclipses debuted, they used a color very similar to that. Also one of the first to do a modern day burnt orange color also.

1995 Biscayne Green Mica, Durango Copper Mica was the other, it also looks very close to 1970 Citrus Green. Looks like the pic was taken on an overcast day.

I do not recognize the car, but the color is close to Dupont Hot Hues Lime Light.

...also their Zesty Lime and Iguana Run.
also 1969 GM Yellow Green Metallic. (seriously)

Thanks Shane and BA...

I just remembered Ford using something similar on their Mustangs when the new 2005's came out. Probably not as much gold in it as this Merc. But it looked good to me on the S197's.

I tried to duplicate it on this ex-gasser chop...photobucket doesn't quite get it the same shade.
