It's not easy being green.

Green Envy was deleted from the Fiesta’s color palette for the 2016 MY, which has me disappointed (it blows the pre-refresh Fiesta’s Lime Squeeze out of the water, IMO). They did bring back Kona Blue, and they introduced a new black wheel color while making Rado Grey standard, so that’s nice.

I admittedly only remember ever seeing one Green Envy Fiesta (not the one pictured) while out-and-about, but it drew compliments from passers-by.

And now, Kermit (never mind that my problem is with the rarity of cars in good green colors rather than their ubiquity, LOL).

You know what really grinds my gears? When dealers have quirky, colorful cars like the Fiesta but they only stock them in Black, white, and silver. Fuck that.

Kia Soul in that awesome green? Good luck, here’s a black one!

Mitsubishi Mirage with all those vibrant colors? Here, take a black one. That’s all we got. Oh wait, here is a grey..

It honestly isn’t that great a colour in person, it’s much more washed out than it looks in pictures. The candy blue is much nicer, but it’s not offered on the ST’s.

Because dealerships are worried that more vibrant colors won’t sell as quickly. Some people don’t feel a vibrant color would make a good investment when they decide to sell the car.

Yeah, I wish Blue Candy was an option on the Fiesta ST. I know Green Envy isn’t perfect, as most of the Green Envy pics that I found looked washed out to begin with, but I still think it’s miles ahead of Lime Squeeze. Of the brighter green colors that I’ve seen from mainstream brands in recent years, I like the pre-refresh Camaro’s Synergy Green the best.

And this is why finding my parked car is so easy in the sea of silver and grey. Well...if it isnt hiding behind a car bigger than a Smart...because Ive had Minis and fiat 500s hide it.

Wait is Kona blue being offered? Or is it the same as performance blue? Kona blue is deeper and has a better flake IMO. I LOVE it on the mustang. I like performance blue, but I would consider getting mine resprayed to Kona blue if offered.

I would have gotten the Blue Candy if it had been an option.

Synergy Green is good, and the Hyundai green from I think the Accent is pretty nice too.

I have Kona Blue selected in the lede pic. It seems to be a distinctly different color rather than a rebranded Performance Blue - here’s a changelog .

Aw man. Someone in my neighborhood had a green envy FiST. It’s a hilarious/awesome color. However, I definitely see it as one of those colors we all talk about buying, but end up with Blue or Red because we don’t want to be THAT guy.

Ford needs to bring back the pink color they had for 2011. They dropped it after only one year :(

Bright Magenta, you mean? Yeah, that was an interesting color.
