New Color, or just name of color

I've heard, and read, of the change in color from Everest Green to Jade Green. Now, to me, Jade Green is an almost black color, which i am hoping for (as i feel it has been YEARS since MB has had a decent green), but i am wondering if this is just a re-name of the same color? Any info???

i thought opal black was black with a hint of green?
anyways, i'd think jade green would imply lighter green rather then dark.

Here's a 07 E in jade green. It's color code 300.



To compare a GL in everest green metallic (color code 816):

My own favorite color of all time was one of Acura's back in the 90-92 range (mostly on the Legend)...it was that dark dark green that looked black-my wife still calls it "God's color" b/c to her it is perfect. Wish that were a choice.

Man, that Acura has seen better days...and it came darker from the factory!
