Who can recommend a factory green paint color? Im thinking of repainting my car in a dark green with a gloss black hood and decklid. I want something really dark so that the black to green is kind of subtle.
I remember seeing a really nice porsche color a few years back, anyone have the name or code of this color?
Post up some pictures so I can get some ideas. Thanks.

How about the very rare 1973 Trans Am in Brewster Green :)
Granted I'm a little partial to the 70-73 cars.... hehehe.....

Lexus makes a nice dark green. At night and in shadows it looks black but in the sun it is metallic green.

Here is Dark Green Metallic from 1997. Also called Polo Green, and Forrest Green, and Green Gold Metallic.
Factory GM color. Pontiac High Performance liked my car so much they had suncoastcreations.com post a pic of my car in one of theyre ads. I have the paint can in the garage. If you need the code Ill be glad to give it to you.

Or there's the Dark Highland Green that comes with the Bullitt Mustangs.
Edit: Here's a site with all the greens ever offered by Porsche. Dark olive Metallic looks very dark
