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!
