green is a colour hardly used over here. There is the Linden green as seen on the Ford press car as allegedly driven by Mario Andretti (not) but no one here has gone for it.

I believe green is regarded as a bad-luck color in the racing community, at least here in the US. Several racers are highly superstitious about the color green, and I've even heard stories of drag racers shooing away from the pits people who are wearing green and looking at the race cars.

I believe that was from Mark Worthington. Whatever color, it would look great in my shop.
