Factory green

I am wanting to paint my truck like a dark green, is there any factory colors that are dark green? and could you post a pic if you have one painted dark green? I was looking at Ronzi's truck and I really like it does anybody know what color it is?

I have a 76 Explorer that is jade green. I don't have a computer though. It died so I'm using my Blackberry. Since I cant post a pic all I can offer is that I can text you a pic or two of my truck. Let me know.

There was a darker metallic green, much of my truck was it originally, dashboard still is and it looks great.
Away from home right now so no pictures, but I would highly recommend that color, have the truck that stands out when you look at it.

Im not sure if that was a factory color. I have seen several of these trucks painted this color. I know it was not the original color of my truck. My truck is being painted right now and I went with a dark metalic green that is a factory toyota color. Its about the same just has more metalic in it. I wanted to paint it the bushmaster green Stacy David did Ted Nugents bronco on gearz tv but I cant find any info or paint codes.
My truck should be ready to put back together in a few weeks. Its just a cab on the frame right now.

It is called dark jade metallic. dont have any pics of that truck though. It is very similar to my '02 hunter green and that 4x posted above with the insane working angle on the front shaft
