Is this sage green?

Looks like it to me. Low miles, vent windows, $350. Supposedly has "bad frame"...

Oh, cool. I'm colorblind to faint colors like that. Anything in the neighborhood of light purple or green just looks like gray to me. But it didn't look like a regular gray, hehe, so I thought it might'a been green :)

When I had my light sage green '85 T-Bird I was talking to an elderly friend about the body work I had to do, and was lamenting the fact that the touch up paint was discontinued. He looked at me funny and said "It's just grey, shouldn't be hard to match". I looked at him even funnier, and said "Um, the car's green, Moe..."

He thought I was crazy, and even asked a bystander, who must have thought we were both crazy, what colour the car was. When the bystander said "green" he got all upset (he was a cranky old coot at the best of times). I don't think he ever accepted the fact that he was colour blind...

That car has been sitting for good while. Still has the old blue and white Ohio tags on it.

It looks exactly like mine... that color is hard to distinguish photos taken in sunlight.

you know,, a lot of people who dont 'know" they are color blind have trouble with reds and greens.  A good test is to skin back a telecom cable and have them find the read off the colors.

usually its the violet and reds but the green tracers kill them.

Yeah, I think red/green colourblindedness is the most common type. I know they test for it when you get your driver's license by making you pick out a shape of red dots among green ones, or green dots among red ones, but this old bugger hadn't seen the inside of a DMV tester's office in 60 or so years...
