Hi,
My car is Palma metalic green and the code (on the paint label, still on the car) is L95K.
However - the car in the photograph does not look the same colour as my car - it looks a much darker - more khaki than mine.

L95K is Palma Green Met,it is the colour of feature car in the early brochures and looks much lighter in the brochure, a sort of inbetween Viper and Colibri but the car in the pic looks more like a flat Colibri.
I have this pic from VW Motoring which we must assume is Palma from the date but again looks much darker like colibri.

Forest Green
They appear to have some sort of acid rain problem there. Is there a power station next door?
