History has shown that Green cars don't sell very well. I personally don't like green on almost anything, cept grass, butt hey it's your $$$ spend it the way you want
I don't like the red on the reveal car either, though it could be the lighting on that car.

I love the green cars, and as you have all said, no one makes 'em anymore. So I would be getting a Lime Rock Green, although likely with black wheels which IMO ties in with the vents better. Will have to see in person before choosing wheel color, but definitely would be getting the green car.

My wife's 08 Jaguar XK, it's Jag's modern take on British Racing Green. If Lime Rock Green is close it'll be a great addition to the C7 color options
And in the sun it's stunning

That is an early photoshop of the C7 with HRE wheels. The color of the car is Cyber Grey, someone attempted to make this photo look green. Based on GM's version of Lime Rock Green, there is NO way this car is even close.

I saw the reveal car in the sun, it looks better.

Yes this is Polo Green II. Before this they did a slightly darker version just called Polo green. The new color looks like Polo from what I can tell. Polo was a very popular color in the early to mid 90s.

Lime Rock Green is the color of green Chevy trucks until they couldn't sell any more but had a lot of paint left over.
White, Silver and Red are the next Green, and Chartreuse and day glow Orange are the next Black.
Follow me?

1967 and 68 were the only years I could find that green was the number one colour choice.

Most of my corvettes have been yellow but after ordering my DD in Kryptonite I’ve made it a keeper. That green is as addictive as yellow has been

Its official name is unripened green.
As far is I can tell, it's exactly the same color is the C4.
It looked identical IRL.

This is Lime Rock Green Metallic. It glows green in the sun, looks dark green or black in the shade or at night.
