Dark Green Poly #2146 Cougar

[Darrel]

Anyone have a picture of their car with this paint code C. Thinking of painting my 1970 XR-7 this color but doesn’t look to be to common.
Thanks

It’s a nice color!

I believe Mercury used the name Dark Ivy Green metallic on the same green as Ford named Black Jade. It is not a fancy color but still one of my favorites for these years, at least together with the brown interior.

This is the finished product, found at the bottom of the above-mentioned thread,

This car has both the reference Jade black/dark ivy green metallic and the dark green poly you are asking about. The dark green poly has very little gold metallic and the dark ivy/black jade is loaded. Very different colors especially in the light

The door is dark ivy and the rear quarter is green poly

This is dark ivy green in Mercury and Black Jade in Ford

I miss my black jade 70 that I had when I graduated in 1978… Yes it’s a faded old picture…

Dark Ivy… Man… I was hoping no one else had a pretty color like mine. But that one sure is pretty 2!!!

[mopauly1965]

That is very pretty!!!

Dark Ivy Green in 69-70 was like Black Jade. In 71-72, Dark Ivy Green was a different color. I’ve had both.

Here is another option if you’re not committed to a stock Ford color.. This is a late model Dodge color, code F8.. I really like it. It’s between the Black Jade and the 71 Dark Ivy (and it really works nice with the black striping).. Car owner is on the 71-73 Mustang forum..
