Default APPLE GREEN Wheel UPDATE

Well after much thought and reading the posts from members and Ken Ehrenhofer we decided that the color was not the CORRECT Apple Green as Ford has used. After taking the swatch to the paint store we did 2 spray outs and came away very happy with what we believe is a TRUE Apple Green vs. the original color of SAGE GREEN.. As the Sage is a great color it is NOT Apple Green, I have made a color comparison chart that I hope will help others when choosing this color. The photos were taken in the same booth under the same lighting and camera setting. You can see a significant color difference and even more in the sunlight. When looking at the spray out card against the OLD SAGE you can clearly see that what we re-did is in our opinion a TRUE APPLE GREEN, and has that Granny Smith Apple Color.
Hope this helps all for their paint choice also....Thanks again to all who assisted in the thread.....What say you all on your opinions now?
