Ice green metallic

My 75 has a horrible red paint job done some time ago by a previous owner. I noticed in some places where it has flaked off or where it wasn't sprayed that it was previously a silverish color. So I looked at the paint code and its 250, Ice Green Metallic from my research. The few pictures I have seen it looks more green than silver but what I have found on my car is it looks more silver, all though I have only seen a few small areas about half the size of a dime. I haven't seen it in person but I am sure some of you have. What is your opinion on the color? Are the few pictures here on Pelican a good representation on what the color looks like in person? I was thinking of paining my car its original color but so far I haven't convinced the wife as she is not a fan of this shade of green.

Have a Happy Easter!

it is a light shade of green. it is my personal favorite 911 color. you can search the forums for pictures of various colors. i spent 20 seconds and found this one, which is pretty close.

I have a '77 with Ice Green Metallic. It is green for sure. Here is a pic of mine inside a building. In the sun it is much brighter.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah I searched here for pics and found some. It might be just my eyes but some photos it looks a little greener than others. It looks good on your '77. I like it!

I had a 1977 ice green 911 back in the early 80's. It was a great color, if the sun hit the car in a certain angle it looked almost silver.
