Aspen Green

I was looking thru the 05 brochure and noticed that they make an Aspen Green Ex. I have never seen one that color.

Has anyone ever seen an Aspen Green Ex?

Aspen Green metallic XLT 4x4 V-10 here.

The Ex I bought earlier this month is Aspen Green (XLT). From the online add I didn't think I would like it much, but in person it's a pretty cool color and really looks good with the chrome grille and bumper. I'm not much of a chrome guy but this combo does look sharp. Sorry no pics yet.
The family has nicknamed the buggy as "The Jolly Green Giant".
One 1200 mile vacation in it so far and everybody loves it! Should only get better as I add various goodies as time & budget allow.

The Aspen tree has very nice silvery/green colored leaves and it is a pretty nice color on a car or truck. From a distance the have a kind of chrome shimmer with a light breeze.

So, what is the color on mine called?

It's the dark green that almost looks black when you first look at it.

On my post, scroll down 1/3rd of the page. Just want to make sure everyone knows that the one at the top is NOT the Aspen Green X.

My 2003 Excursion was "Forest" (how I got my nickname) and it was Aspen Green. It was a limited and was all this color except for plastic trim on bottom of bumpers and on running boards. We bought it new and the paint looked very nice at 180,000 miles. I always thought the name was incorrect--it is more of a dark green than "Aspen". I wish the 2005 Limiteds were still available in this color--I would have shopped around for it.
