Polo Green - What does it look like?
Have a 92 Pearl LSi with 92K. Have an opportunity to buy a 96 with low miles. Color is Polo Green. I am too far away to actually see the car and had to resort to digital pictures. Unfortunately, they all vary. I see light green, dark green, blue green, emerald green, forest green, etc. etc. Can anyone send me a digital picture they swear looks like the real thing on their monitor? Also, can anyone give me a comparison to another object? Someone said it looks like the Interstate Highway sign color. I saw a Ford Mustang coupe that looked like a deep metallic green. Anyone know that one? Is that close?
If anyone owns one in the greater Chicago area and is willing to let me stop by, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your help before I make an offer. Stan

The interstate highway signs are NOT polo green. I have a 96 polo green SVX, and it's probably much like the Mustang you saw. It's a really nice color....I love mine.

The car I traded for the SVX was a dark green '93 Mitsubishi Galant.
The touch-up paint from the Galant is a nearly perfect match on the SVX. I now have the exact same color Galant living right next door to me. The colors are extremely close, but the SVX looks a little nicer (about a half of a half of a shade lighter). Unfortunately, when you see the Galant in that color, it's pretty obvious you're not seeing an SVX, so really everything I just said was moot. Whoa, that's post number 610. Must be my lucky number.

Lets look at it this way - it's not such an ugly color that you wouldn't buy the car. (BTW, mine's emerald pearl, there's a couple pics in my locker)

Polo Green is very close to British Racing reen. It may be just a hair lighter in shading. Find an old green XKE add some pearlized dust and you'll be very close.

As far as I know they are the same color. Mine's a '94 so it's listed as emerald pearl (I don't know why, there's no discernable 'pearl' in it) whereas your's is a '95 and listed as polo green. I just chalked it up to marketing rather than an actual color difference. Ya gotta watch them marketing types like a hawk, ya know.

Is Polo green a distinct color from Dark Teal?
I assumed it was, but I've never actually seen a polo green svx b4(or atleast thought it was dark teal just like what Im driving)
