TWO good hints. HAH!

Is "Kenmore refrigerator coppertone" close to Bronze Metallic?

Kenmoreglo?

Here's an idea. Rickenbacker rolled with Monte Brown for two years - what if Blue Boy rides on for another year, and they also introduce a *different* Color of the Year...

That would make John's earlier clue helpful and truthful, but also keep the mystery alive!

PS - A moment of silence for the great Monte Brown. Monte, you have served with distinction and will be missed by us all.

I had a '79 Honda Accord that I had painted a deep Coppertone that looked really great. That would be an interesting color.

Bronze metalic? Just like their gold color from a couple years ago.

If gold and bronze look the same to you, I've got a "gold" (+wink+) ingot to sell you for half price!

Half price? Sure! Let me write you a check (chuckles).

I was on the phone with Kenny Howes last night. He told me that the 2005 color of the year is awesome, that we'll all know what it is very shortly, and then, refused to tell me what it was... You know, I once liked Kenny... But that is just plain cruel. So here is my guess... BlueBurst or SaphireGlo.
