I was rather ambivalent about this color until I saw it in person. It’s breathtaking to me. But it’s no longer an option for 2017.

It was brought up in a previous thread in which someone posted the configurator, but I wasn’t ready to admit it was gone.

Plus the top photo appears to have been taken in the fall, and with the 100 degree days here in SC, with 2000% humidity, I could use some fall weather. In a green stang.

WHY do all the greens die?

Looking at you Corvette.

I know! I was going to do a separate post of a Lime Rock Green C7 I saw. Magnificent color.

I think it’s time to march on Dearborn.

This is the colour my old man wanted to order for his 2015, which isn’t due for delivery until October this year (UK), but even then we were told it was no longer available. A shame, because it looks great with the silver 19's and the Custom Pack.

Headed to Tractor Supply stock up on pitchforks, you bring the torches.

The car universe is like reverse-Pleasantville, where all the color is slowly bleeding away into black, white, and gray.

Easily my favorite Ford color. Very subtle, understated and unique.

Very cool shade of green. Too bad they discontinued it.

Because no one buys green cars? I don’t think anyone would discountinue well selling colors.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Dru

It's about as Assad as when GM took away Lime Rock Green on the Corvette man that was a pretty green,

My question is worded in such a way I believe it covers that. As in, why aren’t people buying them.

Ford kills all the cool colors after a year - Frosted Glass on my Focus and the Escape, Gingerale on the Edge and Escape, Candy Blue and that orange-tinted gold on the Focus, the variety of brown/bronze colors that came and went on the Explorer over the past few years.

About the only cool color they kept around was Sunset Orange, which was a nice copper/red color that lit up in direct sunlight. It’s way nicer than the deep red they also offered. Car companies have no balls when it comes to making and then selling interesting colors.

I think Guard’s biggest failing is that it looks gray except in direct sunlight. If they sold a true forest green, I’d be happy. As is, it’s a bit too subtle.

They did in the 90's. Is it bad that that makes me miss the 90's?

I wish Guard had have been an option on my Fiesta. On a positive note, at least here in the Midlands, it’s supposed to cool down a bit this weekend.

Hope it does, I've always heard the midlands are worse for heat than the coast. Supposed to be mid 80s on Sunday. Might actually go to the beach for the first time in months.

I hope to fix my back window and go for a cool drive.

Almost every green car I see from the 90's is a Camry
