ok. All this green stuff is makin my head spin - and I thought I knew my greens very well.... rpatowers, thx for posting the name of the color. Not all are labeled, so I want to ask a question about 72 greens. As we're all aware, the "brochure" name is different than the "SPID" name of the color - kinda like Hugger=Red Orange, etc.

With the help of some previous posts and a very helpful color sheet for 72 from TimSS, here's what I THINK I know:

504 = Med Olive Poly = Willow Green
505 = Dark Green = Glenwood Green
506 = Dark Olive Poly = Spruce Green
518 = Medium Green = Meadow Green

So, is any of the above incorrect? And am I misisng one of the greens? Were there 5 in 72? For example, if you look at rpatowers' medium truck - that is what I always understood medium green to look like. Med olive, dark olive, and dark green all stand out as easily discernable also. BUT, what green (paint code/SPID name/brochure name) is THIS green: (or is it a non-stock green?) To me, it kinda looks like the old neptune green from the AD trucks... maybe not drak enough though. Thoughts?
