Default What Color is this Diecast Model

I saw a diecast model for sale and found an old article reviewing it and the article said it was Kewanee and Elkpoint Green but it kind of looks like Copra and Chicle to me. What do you think?

Because computer reproduction of colors isn't always accurate, its difficult to say for sure. I'd feel that your attached photo definitely isn't Copra and Chicle. I would expect that the reviewer had the model in his hand, so I would agree with Kewanee and elkpoint.

Aren't chicle and copra more brownish than greenish? I'd also say the model is kewanee and elkpoint.

Yep, I would agree the model is green and not brown/tan.

It's interesting to see these colors together on your car. My coupe was supposed to look like this. It was painted when I bought it, somehow the painter got the darker color mix wrong and the two colors are almost the same. It's a shame they went to so much trouble to mask all the areas for the two tone scheme and unless it's in bright sun I can hardly tell. Your car looks like it's going to be beautiful.
