Nope, that's not factory, good eye, the original green was much darker than that, compare to my sc in my sig on the right.

Have to agree...... Does not look anything like a factory OEM color..... If you ever get to see the car in person, the color code should be on the plaque in the door jam (but then a quick look in the engine bay may reveal the original color....

Doesn't look like the OEM color...then again, you an always have a body shop match the paint by a little improvising.

Here's the color chart for all years on the Sc 300/400. Ask the owner for a picture, of manufactured label, (inner drivers door) in which has the year/original color code of the Sc. The front bumper/hood/fender are close to the teal mist, but the passenger door to back bumper are different shades.

Yeah that looks like Hulk green. Maybe have the guy snap some pictures of the door jambs and under the hood to see if it matches.
