Need Help Identifying Stock Mazda Color!

[KronixKid22]

So I just found out about this Mazda called the Mazda Etude Sport. Doing some research on it now...

Well it seems to be from South Africa as the sites that I found info about it come from .co.za domains and refer to the region as SA when talking about it in articles. I can't find any info on the color I am looking for. I am interested in the stock metallic green color shown in this photo. Any help would be appreciated! (Where's Josh the detective? lol)

looked into it and off the HOK site they have a library of paints just select the year and look through the sheets and try to match the color up..http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/

Cool, I'll have to check out that website.

Hmm... here's a side view of the stock color I'm looking for. I think it's awesome!

Ooo... I found this color from the new 2008 Dodge Vipes that looks pretty darn close. It's called "Snakeskin Green." Check it out!

They added that new color to this years "new" Viper.

Did you check the protege FAQ?
What colors are available for the Proteg?
http://www.protegefaq.net/models.html#colorcodes

Maybe its "Sea Breeze Green Mica [Orient Green Mica], color code 23G"

 

[KronixKid22]

Yup, went through that entire list, saw all of the greens, and it's none of them. 23G is a teal type green. Thanks for the link though.

Are you looking to repaint? I have those photos of the etude as well.

Look on the ford SA site.....

Yes. Now that I have the new engine, my dad wants to repaint the car next year. He suggested a burnt orange such as on the newer Mitsubishi Eclipses and I wanted that too, but someone else on the forums has already been thinking of it. There's also a P5 already painted the Spicy Orange from the MSP so I think orange is out. I want to be original and now that I've seen this, I think I've got my color picked... as long as I can find out what it is and where to get it. lol

Already searched the entire Mazda SA site, I gues I will go on Ford's SA site now...

...the Verdigris color is close, but not the one. :/

I tried all of them. I also searched for used cars but of the ones I did find the color description just says green.

House of Colors - Lime Green was the color of The Ballistic Unlimited Proteg5 Tran-Sport.

I think those color chip pages are misleading...
...check out colors you know, like Spicy Orange http://www.tcpglobal.com/aclchip.aspx?image=2003-mazda-pg01.jpg

I looked through Protege colors & years at paintscratch.com and of all the greens I saw, the 1997 Sparkle Green Metallic (11R) seemed closest.

The biggest problem is trying to match colors under differing light conditions.

Yup, I searched a lot of used cars also. None of them are too close, and if they are, they just say green.

I forgot about the P5 truck. That color is pretty close. Thanks for the info!

Yes, the lighting is the problem with the pictures, but I don't know how 11R could even be considered green. lol

must be peppermint green ... 23G .. it was available here in germany, needless to say noone bought it because it looks like a bubblegum toy (and because cop cars here are green+white)

[KronixKid22]

Well somebody's info is mixed up or the paint code is different in Germany. Here is a picture of the American Sea Breeze Green Mica, color code 23G...
