I like the color, but, my '6 is emerald green.  I don't find it  offensive in 
the least.  Someone with more knowledge of what was "original"  than me will 
need to chime in here.

Listers,

Without going into the aggravating 'how' and 'why'  details I would greatly 
appreciate opinions of fellow enthusiasts about  the color of my freshly 
painted tub.  The car is not being built to  an original standard but I did 
want a particular color that was  representative of the traditional British 
Racing Green.

Best laid  plans were "Murphy-ized' and what I now have is an unusual color 
for a 250  that I am heavily biased against because of what the expectation 
was and  my years of TR ownership.  I don't hate the color but everyone who  
has seen the car, all non-enthusiasts who have no real basis for  comparison, 
thinks I'm crazy for considering repainting it, or at least  attempting to 
use a blue tinted clear to soften the green.  It does  remind me of the 
lighter racing green used by Lotus in the 50s, 60s and  70s.  All other body 
panels are still in primer.

So, please  take a look http://www.triumphowners.com/231 and give me your 
valued  opinions, be it "absolutely ghastly" or "too cool".   Right now I'm  
on the fence.

Thank you all!
