Eden.
That gets my vote Eden! Though I'd prefer a solid green rather than a glow.

Forget about the color of the year and bring back the beloved checkerboard...

A tasteful Purple Glo could get interesting!

Here we go again.

I'd like to see AMBER JETGLO. Jet black with yellowed clearcoat and ambered binding, inlays, and plexi TRC.

Like this '72 beauty that was recently sold on eBay.

I like that idea,too,my first Ric was a JG 4000,and the clearcoat had yellowed so much that it actually looked like a deep dark lagoon green....

I'd so love to see a nice dark british racing green. Maybe a british racing green with very light metalflake. Maybe BRG with black trim. Maybe BRG burst.

Purple, maybe not.

I saw in a dream once a cherry burst. It was almost black around the edges, but with a very translucent ruby in the middle. Absolutely gorgeous!

Checkerboard and BRG.

The pic attached is my first car, 1975 Holden Gemini TX. No doubt you guys have seen these around the world. Dad and I painted it Holden Sherbrook Green, sort of a BRG colour. In low light it was almost black.
