yes you guys know what im talking about

@Mr.1.5: please show me a bigger pic of it

i like both the sea crystal green and sea foam green but judging from the pics the crytal green is not overly bright.

but i think i found a very nice color named Robin Egg Blue which is often used on 50's cars. now i just need some sort of code to get it made..
