I know Grecian Green very well, its on my '68 and on a '68 parts car that I have. It is a metallic color, has a goldish cast to it. It is very pretty and I get a lot of comments on it. I used PPG Deltron DBU base/clearcoat. They had to use the Prophet scanner to match the color, but it is perfect.

Any chance this is the same as Green Mist used in 1970?

Shawn, cant tell by the pic, but its close...I know they change the name of the color from year to year, but its the same color, so it probably is...Its on a car featured in Chevy High Performance from Sept 01...I think I'll go with it, I like it a lot..and there are not too many out there with that color, not around here anyway...where are you in relation to me? Im about 30 miles west of Albany. John

I'm in the hudson valley, near Newburgh, I think Albany is about 60 miles from here? I'm right after the ulster/orange line in ulster county.
