Looks like a mid 70's VW Beetle color.

Definitely interesting, but I'm not sure about cool. I've seen quite a few new Beetles around here that sport that color. For green p-cars, I don't think there is a higher pinnacle than signal green. Although the 914 had a pretty neat green other than signal; not sure what it's called though.

There was a viper green in the early 70s that was pretty bright. There was also a real nice dark green in the early 80s, which is somewhat similar to the more recent rainforest green.



Or, the somewhat hideous (IMHO) mint green from the 964 era:

I was just commenting on the color - don't blame the paint for the car's lines
