Yes, the greens are very interesting. I would like my 240 to perhaps be
either an army green or an olive green. I saw one that was sort of Army and
it looked classy.

I am actually glad mine happens to be the dark dark blue. Also classy. These
123s have an entirely different look in the beiges etc.

Wife thinks the dark blue is too pimpy. I don't agree. Maybe if it had dark
tinted windows.

What is up with that factory color that is essentially terra-cotta?

Never any accounting for taste, is there?  I love the statement that 123s
and 126s in bright solid colors make.  Much more interesting than the
common
beiges and pale blues.  I saw a kelly-green 300SD at my indy's the other
day
that I was really taken with.  Never saw one like that before.  (The paint
looked original.)  I asked him to tell me if the owner ever started
talking
about selling it.
