Almond Green -- How Rare?
#19
Well a sale is under way! Coming from an '05 Cooper S and a Jeep Wrangler, never owned anything like this so I'm really excited. Better pics to come hopefully soon

What's the difference between Almond green and DBR9 Racing Green? They look identical to me.

Almond Green, Racing Green, and DBR9 Racing Green are all very similar. The only way to distinguish them is when they are side by side in a photo, otherwise good luck because photo lighting conditions has a huge effect on the perceived shade.
I am surprised that there aren’t far more green Astons considering it is their racing color like red is for Ferrari. You notice when they come out with specials they tend to first show them in green. Prior to the Gaydon generation, there were more green Astons as a percent of the total, but still not a lot compared to red Ferraris.

I have owned a lot of British cars and all of them were green, at the moment I have a California Sage Green DBS with a Bitter Chocolate interior and I get a lot of compliments everywhere I go...
any shade of green suits a British car better, IMHO
on the other hand, I like that few people agree with me, so I can enjoy a fairly rare car...

it's a quite rare color for a DBS, I have have seen only other three so far.
Michael *** had two (a coupè and a roadster) with questionable Absynthe Green interiors, the third one is Slovakian registered with a light interior
these are the only pictures of my car that I have right now, they are awful, forgive me...

Agreed. I'm a huge fan of the dark green they put on the V8 GTs. In my opinion, the best color combination for an Aston is dark green with a chocolate or sand interior.

Gorgeous car by the way! I originally wanted silver, it's the classiest color and although you see a lot of cars in silver these days, Aston's really own that color, it's a great choice. But something in me still rebelled a little from getting a silver car and wanting more color, and green was the second choice -- hardly green seems like a really nice mix of the two. All the classiness of silver with a little freshness of color!

Build thread coming soon. Don't worry it will stay looking mostly stock! But I have a few things planned and I'm looking forward to people's input
EDIT: I see the green you are talking about with the later v8 vantage GTs, I think it's Alloro Green -- I'm a fan, too!
