Can anyone ID these two colors?

[thriller]

With a little persuasion I've begun thinking about some other color choices for the 260z... Only thing that I'd like to work in is have it go with the brown interior, because the brown isn't something you see too often in Z's so it'd be cool to keep. Obviously this green would go pretty nicely. I like it lots but can't quite pick the color code..?

 

But then I dug around and fell in love with this red/orange thing... Looks great in the sun. Is it #611 red??

 

 

Anyone have more pics of either? I know color is a personal thing.. But I can't decide which one I like more hahah.

Bozo (Sam) has my Zed book with the color chart. Send him a PM.

Not sure if you're wanting to stick with stock colours, but some of the current euro cars are coming out in really nice brown colours, from red brown's, green browns through to gold browns, could accent and offset the interior quite nicely.

Green all the way, never liked Brown on Zs, safari gold yes but brown? No.

Thanks guys.. Yeah do love some of the modern colors. One day I'll do a big flared Z in Lexus Matador Red mmm.. But here want to stick to something they came with.

 

Am definitely leaning toward some kind of green. Girlfriend loves the lime, but eehhhh not on a 260 methinks. Will have a good perv on all the green Z's this coming weekend, chat to owners and hopefully make my mind up pretty soon.

Alan's (260coupe) zed is that same green by the looks of it. Looks great in real life rather than in a pic! +3 for the Green!

I know the Lime Green didn't come on a 260z, it was a 240z colour but it's seriously 1 favourite S30Z original colours and I think it would look fine on a 260z.

I believe this is a factory 260z colour, and is similar to the sort of 'brown' i was talking about

Goodluck deciding!

thats the brown i had on mine... colour grew on me very quickly

[thriller]

Yep I do like that one a lot! But I should keep away from metallic paints as I'm a n00b at spraying. We'll see.

 

Doesn't really 'pop' out on the road though, and green really does scream out '70s sports car'.

 

I might ring up the owner and ask to check the color out in person before I make my mind up for sure.

 

 

Never made such a tough decision in my life heh
