Too green?

2012 Jeep Gecko Pearl Green. Too bright for a 911? Too close to Signal Green?

some cars can be painted ANY color

911 is one of them
so it's personal taste - I know a guy with an orange and purple track car and I have to admit - it looks cool even though I hate the colors themselves

I'm trying to pick a green for my 993 GT/2 and see the Jeep above (parked at the local strip joint) regularly. I like it, but afraid it might be "too green"...

Lime Green (looks a little "Olive" to me).

There it is. Any 911 earlier than 1990 will look good in any color and any finish.

Jeep looks like it should have a big white 'm' on its roof . . . .

Why wouldn't you consider Viper Green? It's a great factory color, stands out in a crowd, and everybody seems to like it.

viper grun 249 9-3

I like all early vintage 1970 Porsche colors but viper grun 249 9-3 kunstharzlack is super cool, for sure this is my favored color.
