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!
