sl color
Hey, I'm trying to find the name of a specific color that was on the Sl launch edition (I think). It has a tint of green, silver, and beige. Does anyone know? thanks.

I have the Launch Edition SL 500 which came in that color only. I really like it .-(even after 14 months)--It is very interesting, because as the sky and ground surroundings change color, the reflected light makes it appear quite different - every day, at any location, at any time of day, in daylight, in darkness- under different spectrum parking lot and highway lighting. It is sort of mysterious---it really grows on you. I have fun asking serious people to describe the color--they say "ah----, ah-----; tell me what it is!" It tends to be light greenish with a metalllic sheen in a lot of normal lighting conditions. Giff Albright

To each his own, but the only thing I like about the launch editions is the dark black interior. I can't stand the way the standard charcoal looks. The light grey accent looks very cheesy IMO.
