Ray,

Fyord green & BRG are about the same darkness but BRG leans to yellow and Fjord towards blue as my eye seems to remember.

Ray,

Fjord green is a deep green with a subtle blue hue as seen in the photo of my '58 Cab.

Here are a few photos of fjord green. It looks pretty different under different lighting conditions. Under dim light or in shadow, it looks very dark. Otherwise, it is easy to see the strong hint of blue.

Raymond, if you are looking at a photo on a computer screen, be aware
that digital images displayed on a computer are almost completely
useless for accurately assessing a color. In addition, dark colors
like Fjord Green are simply difficult to photograph. It would take a
professional photographer with professional equipment to accurately
depict a color, and then only if a professional PRINTED the photo and
you looked at it in person.

Digital snapshot photos are USELESS for color.

You need to see the car in person. And for far more important reasons
than determining if the color is correct.

Good luck,

Barry Brisco
