saw a noble green MDX

OK, so I don't have pics, since I was driving by the dealership at 40 MPH. My neck nearly snapped as I was trying to see it better. My wife would not let me turn around to re-affirm my thoughts, but I know I saw what I saw. It was that new lighter green offered as the emerald green replacement for the '02 TLs.

It looked TERRIBLE on the MDX from the quick look I got. However, it wasn't there the next day, and I cannot find info about this color change anywhere. Am I seeing things? Am I stupid and missed the memo that said it was the new color change? Any input at all?

This was in Auburn, MA at Ron Bouchards Acura

You say you were doing 40...does anyone know if can colors distort near warp speed?

35 to 40 for sure. I know that I saw it, and it was no trick because there was a TL of the same green a few cars away, and it looked IDENTICAL in color. The MDX was parked next to a mahogany red one. I know I wasn't seeing things, and it was daylight, so it was not the lot lights that made it look funny.

All I can think of is that it is:
a) a 2003 color (I doubt it) like the '03 TL
b) it was a custom paint job for someone who liked that green

Could've been a Canadian model in Evergreen Pearl.

 

[TLwiz]

is the evergreen a light green (it was exactly the noble green offered on the TL) or is it like the dark emerald green?

I never thought of it as being a Canadian model. That sure could be the case if they have the noble green.

Beats me! I just know that the '01 Dark Emerald Pearl (dark green) was replaced with Evergreen Pearl in '02 (and is only available NODB). It appears a bit lighter on the website, but it's really difficult to tell.

I just checked the Canad Acura sight, and that may have been what I saw. It was really close to the Noble green on the TL a few cars away. I must admit, that I did not like how it looked. Next time I will drive more slowly!

My wife claimed that she saw the same color MDX a few days agon in the Westboro area.......she liked the color....but we checked the acura website and it wasn't shown there...what's the story.....ahhh....I don't care, my mahogany will be here in a few days!!

Wow, I thought it was just me. I saw one parked next my RR last Sunday. It had the saddle interior and a green/greyish exterior. I went around it a few times to see which color it was. I just couldn't figure out, gave up.

It's not just me who saw this .....
