Sea Green was RIC's color of the year in 2000. Some orders may have been filled in early 2001 also.

I believe one of my Sea Greens has a 2002 production date. Not really surprising considering RIC's production backlog, especially if it was ordered late in 2000.

I put in an order for a SG 4003 about a week after the color was announced and still have it. I've been more into my 3000 lately though.
