I think yours is Aquamarine Pearl. I met a tubby owner with what looks like the same paint, last weekend.

Mine is regular aquamarine :D

I'm with robbo, purely as mine's that colour.

Believe it's simply called dark metallic green, though there is serveral names listed under the 742 paint code.

That said though I am partial to black on MR2s.

White is best (as was my previous Rev3):

But now my current Rev3 is red, so it's gotta be red:

Black and silver are cool, yellow suits the car but I wouldn't have one, blues are a no and Goodwood Green is a big no.

Black cars look the best and somehow don't look so dated.

Black hides the lines of a car, so it will always tone down any possibly dated styling. It's not a great color to show off the shape, though :)

I wouldn't mind black though, it would be cheaper to respray than metallic :D

Had a zircon blue, that was good, but whites better hence this time round white.

caribean blue, is nice and rarer, :thumleft:

black is good, but looks dirty fast. :lol:

red is good also , but difficult to stop it going pink.

don't like aqua marine or white.

yellow ............you just have to be brave. :roll:

grey and other blues, i just have no opinion on........bland.

Me I think while not technically colours, white and black are the best. Only problem with white is dirt :-)
Anyhoo, my car with my friends Jacks

Each to their own but I feel that white with white wheels holds a certain spark with me :-)

It's got to be black. I've had 2 black ones now. White or red would come a close second. Blue or aquamarine are alright but dark green and yellow just don't do it for me.
