It would look great on a "tacky" 70s dune buggy, but so would baby shit chocolate brown, jaundiced piss yellow, and unripened tomato orange.   Shocked

Honestly Lee, I kinda dig it too.

Porsche Sepia Brown.

i'dd go with sepia brown as well, but it is very hard, read impossible, to accurately see what colour is what from a picture. pictures capture light on a specific moment on a specific film and it never ever comes out like the real thing.

so i like the colour, or should i say 'feel' off the car as well, but if it is sepia brown or puke, dodo, nuclear green, i don't know for sure. but i must say it looks like a nice car.

and like some fellow men i have a huge problem in seeing colours that range from red to green and brown... those colours are nice are not. easy. this one NICE, especially with the wheels

Hard to call a color on an overcast day... with the sun shining, it would look completely different.  Looks like pea green to me.

Definitely not Sepia Brown.
Probably some obscure GM or Ford colour from the 70's.

I agree, and I like it! Reminds me of a green that was on late 60's Ford full size wagons... you know the ones with the ugly fake wood panels Wink
