In Reply to: Is that Seawolf Submarine Green? posted by Northern Calif Dave on Friday, June 23, 2006 at 1:18PM :
The green on that truck is about as close to Pontratrain or Pine green as you will get. Here is an image of a Seawolf Submarine Green wiper access cover mounted in a Dodge Truck Dark Green cab. Notice how the Pontratrain Green has a lot of blue hue to it. The Dodge Truck Dark Green has no blue hue but has a lot of yellow and black in it giving it a bronze tint in the sun light. The Seawolf Submarine Green has a lot of gray in it.
I was collecting wiper access panels in the different colors because they can be found in unfaded good condition as they were rarely exposed to sun light or the elements, until ebay came along and made them worth something, then I kind of let the collection stop. There were other Greens also. Bell Green and Nile Green come to mind.
