Default What color green?

Every time I see that stupid Cymbalta commercial where the guy is walking around rubbin on his old pickup truck I can't help but think that THIS is the future color of my Ultra. It's the one where the the truck is a gorgeous old classic...maybe like a '53? The color is a deep metallic green and damn it's purty. Anyone know what I'm talking about and what that color might be?

You know what I did?
I went to a paint distributor supply that sells DuPont or PPG.
They have color catalogs and will be happy to let you brows their catalogs.
They will sometimes even let you take a page or two home.
You may even find the color you always wanted.

I did that once for a car and seriously regretted it. I'm red/green colorblind (so they tell me) and the color that looked so good on paper looked like *** on my car.
