Default Color Observation on the SC

Well, as my search for the SC continues, what I've noticed lately is how common thesee jaded green or dark green colors, appear for these SC's, it's nuts, honestly isn't my two cups of tea.

Why is this the case on this beautiful car ? I just feel that green dosen't suit the color for this classy car, I figure probably most of the old farts that bought these cars back in the day had no taste in colors. Discuss guys.

I personally like the hunter green color or jade green on the SC. This girl who goes to one of my classes at school drives a Jade Green SC and i personally think it looks pretty classy.

The Jade Green is ok, I just often see them here in Southern Cali, it's why green has turned me off. Right now it's either Black, Pearl White, Garnet Red Pearl or Renaissance Red is what I'm shooting for, it makes the SC stand out a bit more in my humble opinion.

*side note* doing an essay eh?....
anywho no its not a 5spd, its a 400. I still think with a good wash, wax, it would look great. Dont get me wrong pearl white is awesome too but i would rather prefer black.....except here in FL that would be soo unbearable.

Black is a cool color but with me, I think a sports car needs to be bright and get noticed. Thats why if I ever paid for a paint job it would be either yellow or most likly orange.
Black is a pain in the *** here in new orleans without any tint too, my leather seats burn the crap out of me, I stopped wearing wife beaters b/c of my car, lol

back in those early years BMW and Jaguar made that Green very popular...Lexus just jumped on that luxurous color if you notice it is very rare in the latter models...

I'm not a real big fan of the Jade Green colour as most of the one's I've seen have a spruce (greyish green) interior. The one Jade Green Soarer that I was a big fan of was on dropped on 19's and had an ivory interior... very very classy.
