Green colour question
I appreciate that there has been a few threads on this but, now that my Spanish council white 110 is on its way, I am trying and failing to pick a colour.

Shamelessly stole this from Angry Puma but,its the colour I most want.

Is this Keswick ?

Short answer - no I don't think so.

Keswick is a much more pastel shade of green. That looks like it might even be a marine blue or Tuscan perhaps? Tricky because of the light and shade from the tree.

I hope I'm not colour blind then. Could have sworn it was green.

Really stands out as my favourite colour with the black accents

Funny how people interpret it differently. I reckon its Keswick 100%, and googling the number plate, the vehicle details come back as 'Green'. Assume for an 08 reg its still on its original colour its definitely Keswick.
If you just google 'Keswick Green Defender' and look at the images, it shows how different the colour can look in various lights. Instagram: L90andy

Its driving me slightly mental.

Don't want black or grey really. Had too many of them. Our other cars are a black Range Rover and a individual blue X5 so didn't want blue either.

Old 110 was white so can't repeat it.

Slightly OCD I think but its my first respray

The wheels will be anthracite 18" bowler and the roof black.

I hope it will darken down the green so it doesn't look too heritage in certain lights.

Heritage is a much lighter green from what I have seen.

I'd say its Keswick green and the reason there's some discussion is that it does look slightly different in differing light and against different backgrounds but I'd put money on it !!
F.W.I.W. I much prefer it to Heritage Green

Looks like I was plum wrong there then! Embarassed

I'm going to blame my monitor, the lighting, the black roof... and maybe because I wear glasses my eyes aren't that hot.

Take it from one who should know his Greens... Whistle

Unless, of course, you mean the Grey one, or the Black one that are also in the frame... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green
