Default Recommendations on Green

I'm going to be repainting my car green soon and looking for the best shade to work with flat black accenting (overlays, blackbird stripes, etc). Just having a tough time trying to find a green to settle on and wondering if anyone could help sell me on a particular shade of it lol

The green on this 2010 Holden






You'll have to research what color that is. I'm sure it's on www.holden.com.au or whatever their site is.

Polo Green. I loved that color on my '94 Z28. My black berger panel, and niteshaded lights looked awesome with it.

Use 1970-71 Chevelle Forest green. Its in the GM paint book that any body shop should have.

Do a white 25th anniv style stripe and your car will look badass!

Here's a pic of the color on my 71 Chevelle
