Just did a search, 1,930,000 responses! Anything is possible on google, how do I know if you ploughed through 1.9 million responses? Considering there are 59,000 responses that contain the word ford, 22,000 with the word yellow in the ford responses and 32,000 responses that contain the word green. : : By the way, dumb place to put your money!

Let it be known I saw the fiticious google response before you did the edit and removed the word green, which you had in front of the /yellow

Green I tells ya. One of the apprentices at work even said mine was the same colour as the toxic ute I parked next to!! And I swear the insects are attracted to it like they think it's some kind of plant. ;)

I know what you mean, the bugs love it!
Interesting that there were 22,000 responses that mention yellow but there were 32,000 that mention green! The yellow team have been :

It is citric acid (colour matched ECU cover). I think if there was yellow in the airbrush it would look more green. I think the problem is citric acid is somewhere in between the two but I still think it is weighted towards green.

I hope you limited it to Australia at least. If it's any consolation I haven't entered a vote as I saw my posts as completely useless attempts at feeble humour and posting originally "green/yellow" in a thread asking one or the other might have inferred this....oh well..Seinfeld I 'aint.

Good evening chaps...I think I have a Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour to prep for, either that or a colonoscopy, can't find my diary.:

I would have to most definatley said that the colour is more on the yellow side
of the spectrum and just to prove it I did a colour match test today on the works inhouse paint computer and the response came back in the yellow area.
I hope this sorts out the colour interpretation thread and concludes this issue.

But it was on the green side of yellow wasn't it?
I think the poll should have had 4 options, Green,Yellow,Greeny/Yellow and Yellowy/Green.
Anyhow,I just think your afraid of Tori. :

That is the best idea I've seen in this thread. Perhaps now that most people realise it is a yellowy green colour, that is the option we should put up in the poll, starting on the 12th!

Did a wedding today, the professional photographer (works with colours every day) walks up and says "who owns the green car?" The point is there were only 2 cars there and the other was mercury silver. That means the green car would be mine, :thebirds: to you princess!

Well well well... so there is a mad wedding photographer out there who is severely colour blind? That really is bad form perhaps we should contact the ACCC and dob him in...?

But I think the most distressing point of all is that you just flipped me the bird…. I am so very offended – Not really the best way to treat a princess now is it? :(

But this is only stage one of the new poll.

Stage two would be a comparison of what colour does it look like in the shade compared to being in full sun!

This poll could be longer running than Neighbours... and probably more entertaining.

Nah, from what I've read in this thread he's probably out in the dark with a torch trying to make it look Green... or was that yellow?

Actually, it looks more yellow in low light and green in average to good light. I think you will find the Princess will aggree on that one.

I was typing fast ok and did a double tap. Thinking "what is citric acid 2" is a good idea, could be fun.

This time I could start with 2 pic's, one witht he bike and one against trees just to remind people of the colour.
