[Tigers] Forest Green

[Allan Ballard]

There’s plenty of room for subjective color preferences - except on a concours line.

“Personal  preference green” should cost the car a point.

I believe this thread began with the observation that it didn’t - in my view reflecting badly on the judges

My original 86 green looked greener than that, but I just picked a nicer green out of the sample book and went with that.  Still happy with the results.

There were three of us there with Code 86 cars, and we were all very different colors. In the stock category! And while I was pinged a whole point for missing a wiring clip, none of us were pinged for having the wrong color.  So I'm not sure you'll get a straight answer on the true 86 hue.
