My car is dark green, but along with the with a new vented bonnet, the front end needs painting, and though the green is ok...not sure I really like it, so am thinking of changing it

The interior has green carpets, green door panels, and some green leather.The seats, dash etc are a tan colourway, so I want to stay with a green and tan overall scheme, as I quite like it.


I've always liked ocean haze, but I think it is too blue for my interior in some lights

I like this green colour, but any ideas what it is

The other colour is starmist, but I haven't found any good images that I am sure are starmist.

Any other suggestions??

Looks like Ocean Haze in the pic - FFG's car? Starmist Green looks great, Juniper Green is v.rare as is Antique Turquoise which is one of my faves. Or how about a more modern Reflex variant which would really set off your Griff as different (v. few Griffs painted in the later 'Reflex'/variant colours.... Before and after pics please..... Paul.

That is my car, and yes its starmist ocean haze.
I've got a green interior also, fern and ocean green two tone and I think it suits well, so with a bit of cream could be great, although I hate light colour interiors so maybe not best to comment.
I've seen grey (portland?) and that suits also. A lot of the ocean haze cars interiors are green.

Personally, I think the reflex colours look awful on Griffs and Chims - wrong period. Mojo's don't look too bad bar it being pink.

Check out my ex-Griff (in my profile) - I still think it is by far the nicest colour for them

California Sage also looks good on Cerbs. AM colour I believe.
There is a lime green Griff (Y reg) which I've seen a few times (was at Silverstone Classic on Saturday and been the Growl a couple of times) - not to everyones taste but I think it looks good.
I also like Juniper - only 2 or 3 about so rare.

Thanks for the comments, on holiday now, so I can only view on the bb, and the browswer is pretty slow, so will have to wait till I get home, but if anyone can pop links in, much appreciated !!

Paul, I did wonder if it was ocean haze, but in that photo, looks green. Might reconsider that. My interior is definately tan,

This comes up as starmist green. The colour is very light dependant, but is this the same as ocean haze?

This is such a great colour, but not too sure it would work with your interior though.

My Griff is juniper green, but I've had no luck getting a paint formula. I've got a paint code somewhere but it doesn't seem to relate to a colour formula.

The colour suits the car IMO
