Don’t have a date code.. it’s for sale on a local CL type site here in The Netherlands.
I never saw this color green here before.

I didn't know the "old" green made it to the OTS models.

It's an early shade of green.  Here is the best picture that I currently have my my N-Code.


@Craig knows a lot about how this color changed over time. Here's one of his green comparison shots comparing a 78 and 99.

Ja... that looks closer to it.
Does @Craig know if it gets lighter or darker?
I’m not in the market for a green.. it’s just the color caught my eye as not the normal hunter/forest green that I have seen before.

That's a rare shade of green, especially for an 18. I'd love to have that.

Over time the greens went from lighter to darker.

On a side note, you should go buy that grill @vwengguy

I refer to it as John Deere green (falls between forest green & kelly green). I believe that shade of green was from ‘78-‘86.  The OTS sweep dates this as ‘83, or later.

Looks to be in great shape. I also think you should add it to your collection.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

It went real fast.. I guess someone else saw the color and wanted it.
I wasn’t really looking for one in that color but just spotted it as not a standard green.

What color is this ?
« Reply #14 on: October 25, 2017, 06:59:25 AM »
Hi guys! Sorry I’ve not been as active lately as I’d like to be. That 18 is a sweet shade of green! Yes the “old” or early dark greens were lighter than the later-current greens. The color didn’t really darken to the really dark forest green until around 1995-1998 timeframe. I have greens ranging from 1978-1999 and believe me as @Neil_VT00 points out in the photo I took earlier, there is a big difference. That 18.5 from the OP should be at least 1983 (E code) or later.
