Color Question

[Mikeinnj]

I am painting a '30 truck and know most came with Rock Moss Green but I think that's somewhat drab looking.

Can anyone tell me what color this pick-up truck is ? Thanks in advance.

Hard to tell with a computer picture. Also depends on who mixed it and was it a light gray primer or black that was used. Looks like a nice truck, maybe a little on the lighter end of the different Rock Moss Green paint jobs I have seen.

It sure looks like my 28 Tudor which is vagabond green with (darker green) rock moss green trim.

Yes, thanks for the info. The photo in my avitar is of a '29 Tudor painted Vagabond Green II got the pick-up photo attached to my question from a page on Fordbarn but don't remember who posted it. I would like to contact the poster of that photo to ask what color it is for sure.

There is a color called L'anse Green, named after a Michigan Upper Peninsula town that Henry himself frequented in the old days. It is a little lighter than Rock Moss, and may be what is pictured.

Thanks for your input Greg.
