If it's not Viper Green, it's pretty close.

It's not quite viper green. I think it's too "yellow." I certainly is GREEN though.

It's the same color as the 74 I'm looking at and I can't tell...

Plans to make it look exactly like this car without the polished centers.

The color of that Carrera is Lime green (137) or more correctly gelbgruen. It was used for '74-'77.

Chartreuse, I know the car, it is a Euro Carrera from the UK. Excellent photo of Viper gruen on Pelican under SOW 1/5 in the Autox thread. Darker.
Lime green was a color introduced in 74 but the carrera book shows none made in that color.
Of course, with photos what they are on PC screens and a nice glass of Cotes de Provence Rose on it's way down my gullet I would believe anything.
The thing about Chartreuse is that it looks really cool on someone else's car but it is hard to actually stay focused on and not look away, especially in a snowy background.

I believe it was known as "signal green". That was an official 70's color.

It is very similar to this one (RS) from the 1975 brochure. Chartreuse?
