Can you post a picture of your car? I'm not sure I'm familiar with that color. There are so many greens.

What ever happened to the days when henry ford said he would make a car in any color that anyone wants, as long as they only want black. meh, back to my body work.

back to the champaigne, mines a DK code and looks more gold than the other SE..

I've seen MANY Medium Willow Green Contour's around. It doesn't really top my list of rare colors. But I must say that FU Green is rather uncommon. I'm slightly interested in the blue's, however. Most in particular would be BrApple's blue on his SeVT...
i would agree that FU green is a pretty rare color. the meduim steel blue metallic is also fairly rare. i see another one on occation. I can only also think of three other ceg members with that color also.

I see medium steel blue all the time. Mostly old people are driving them :shrug:

Are you sure you aren't seeing the Light Denim Blue (I think that's what it's called) like ctmystique's Mystique?

Nope, I am not sure. That is probably more likely.

Can someone post a picture of each for comparison?
I think that I have one, will check when I get home.
the mystique blue isn't as dark as the medium steel blue.

My midnight blue '00 isn't rare as I see them all over the place, however there is a maroon '98-00 V-6 SE in my work parking garage. Next time I can get a decent pic of it I'll post it. I've not seen one in that color.

I just got talking today about a Mystique I almost bought just before I bought my Contour. It was a pre98 Mystique that had a light teal-ish color and turned to an almost cream color in direct light. It was amazing.
