Vt color

bodge · #1 29-05-2005, 08:17 PM

Im looking for a name of a color that came out on vts only. Its very similar to botanica mica but has more green in it. It must be fairly rare because i havnt seen it on many vts. Its not a HSV color. Any help would be appreciated.nigeleddy@dodo.com.au

I think the colour you are talking about is called capricorn

Thanks for trying Julie but I just looked up that color and its not capricorn.The dominent color is green but it does change slightly to blue in diffrent lights, it isnt botanica mica or amozon mica.

It has to be either Amazon or Botanica Mica. There was no other colour like this available... unless it couldv'e been a trial colour... have you seen many of them around?

couldn't you get the paint code of your body plate in the engine bay and then ask Holden?

Perhaps this color could have been a trial color, but ive seen enough of it to know it wasnt a one off color, ive only ever seen it on vts. I know its not amozon because i have a truck painted in that color and my mate has vs in botanica. I have seen it at diffrent times in diffrent places to know that its not the same car each time.I like the color, im repainting my truck and feel like the color change.

What the hell is Bonica? I seriously hope to God that it's not Botanica badly mis-spelt 'cause that's just bloody stupid.

I am looking at a VT in Bronze? Anyone got a picture of bronze? The guy said it all most looks pink in the light? Dont want to drive for 40minutes to look at this car and find out I hate the colour.

The VT1 came out in several colours carried over from the VS2, and Botannica mica was one of them and you do not see many of them around.
An other one was a sandy/pinky mica, called morrocco sand, also not common
Also Reubens mica, it is a dark maroon/burgundy
Someone earlier mentioned Capricorn mica, it is a very dark green that can look almost black in some light conditions, it was a VT2 colour

9C1pack: Nah Capricorn was on the Series I as well. Heron White was also carried over from the VS (VERY late VS had it), so was Valencia Red (I have only seen ONE VS in this colour).

messmorph: Yeah that colour is Morocco Sand. Imho it looks nice but then again... different people have different tastes.

Raven Was Another Colour On Vt1 Aswell

That's true but it wasn't on the VS. I was only mentioning the colours they were carried over from VS to VT. Thanks all the same though...
