Says it's a custom mix based off a Saturn color.

My tastes run a bit more to the subtle side on the greens but if you like it then go with it.

Looks a bit like Ivy gold from a '67 Mustang.

'08ish to present Dodge and jeeps have a color very similar also....

Reminds me of all those ugly greens from the late '60's early '70's

That truck is really nice.....color is a bit "too much" for me, but who am I to say???????

I took this from the original article.
"When it came time to pick the color, it arrived in an even stranger way than the truck's beginning. John had a bright green golf club and said, "This is the color I want." Pete took the club to the paint store and tried finding a match, yet in the meantime John happened to run across a Saturn color that was close to the club. However, Pete felt the Saturn color was much too gold, so he played around with it, and what ultimately came from the whole scenario is the bright PPG custom green the Ford wears. Lastly, they threw on some Boyd Coddington 17- and 18-inch wheels, and it was off to upholstery."

I believe it probably started out as Saturn Electric Lime.
