Help me find this color!
Hello,
I was fortunately able to buy this repu from S. Osley back in Aug/Sept. He told me that the color was Neptune Green (EX) off an RX3 I believe. I've been slowly but surely piecing it back together, and I've been able to get a new fender and fix the hood but when I search for the color it doesn't seem even remotely close and I'm at a dead end.
Please help if you can.

the color code would have been on a sticker on the bottom of the hood.

I’ve been to the website you linked before, but unfortunately the Neptune green (paint code EX) is not even close.

seems more like a custom color ... either that or somebody mixed it up wrong
it certainly doesn’t match up to the EX code

very possible, and i tend to lean toward that explanation. i've seen it many times over the years. it even happened to my brother with his first Rx-7 (Sunrise Red, 1983). he had the whole car painted over and it came out looking this weird-looking (almost cartoonish), bright shade of red.
