I'm torn between sublime and sassy grass myself. The wife is telling me to paint it white with a black hood and stripes! LOL!
 
I'm assuming the Cuda is sassy grass green... But I think the lighting in the photograph is changing the tone

Sassy Grass Green/Black!
 
My car is Sublime, everyone LOVES the color, but I have grown tired of it, I really want to go T5 bronze when I repaint one day, anyways my moms Duster is getting shot FJ6 sassy grass green, or as she calls it, Sassy *** Green.

Yes ,color changes company to company. A added note: Base /clear looks deeper,usually darker on solid colors. A single stage solid color (no metallic),the color pigment closer to the top surface.(usually appeared brighter,than base clear same color). Maybe some of the new custom clears,are more transparent, now....
 
If you are looking for more green but still bright try Gasser Green. The Jeep shows a little darker because of lightning. I too am thinking about it.

This is why I'm having such a hard time deciding to many cool shades... Gasser green was also one I was thinking of.
 
My 70 Road Runner limelight green FJ5 never looked yellow...I do not Sassy Grass it looks like a John Deere tractor when you paint a car that color...

Nothing wrong with white at all! I actually like it. I would be running the 70 stripes and ralleyes on mine! My car was originally Alpine White and is wearing most of it after I ground off the two coats of primer and the coat of plum crazy!
 
That top posted 71 cuda is Sassy Grass (***? LOL) green! Looks good and I'm not a "green" liking person. And that car looks pretty damn good to me!
 
Ordered some paint me some sample paint from tcp
