    Post Please help me pick a green

    How is everyone!


    I'm about 2-3 days from re-painting my car , so I would appreciate some input or ideas on a great green(prefferably metallic) color. Notice i'm talking about great and not just good Also I'm not looking on spending a fortune on 2-3 tone color where you have to mess with the Pearl and so on..

    5 choices which I'm debating on are:
    1. GM Emarald Green Metallic
    2. Deep Emerald Green Metallic
    3. Mini Cooper (2010) British Racing Metallic Green
    4. BMW Oxford Green Metallic
    5. British Racing Green?Nissan

    Some Examples:

    Third one. It's understated in its depth, and isn't as flashy. Maybe the 4th one if I had to pick a 2nd choice.

    British racing green! Or whatever is in the first link. I don't think that Nissan..thing is british racing green. I think it's a Nissan anyway. Says Rogue in the link and british racing green. It is not.

    Nice! Do you know if that's a GM Emarald Green or GM Emerald Green Metallic?
