In a bit of dialog with a motorhead friend across the pond we talked about Eruption Green being cribbed off of Mallard Green and it upsetting a lot of folks over here because apparently B6g wanted the paint to look like a single stage acrylic paint.
He simply said "They are all wrong". Turns out he was right, we're all wrong and our US-centric viewpoints had us overlooking the paints used across the pond. The code varies by year, but it seems the production color is either L2, L4 or Y2.
The last car to wear Mallard Green from the factory on a Ford was not a 1970's Bronco. It was used on the production spec Escort Cosworth RS Homologation special vehicles from 1992 through 1996 in very limited numbers.
Without going into too many details nobody on here will care about, here are some pics of Mallard Green which seems quite obviously to have been utilized as inspiration for Eruption Green.
