Smile dark emerald color?

Can someone post a pic of the type S in this color? I've seen all the other colors and am deciding between the Aegean Blue or the Emerald...

...assuming I don't hop the border an hour away and pick up the Eternal Blue in Canada!!

Unfortunately, I don't have pictures yet. Emerald is a lot more subtle than the Blue, which is good or bad, depending on what you're looking for. I was afraid it would be too dark, but now that I have it, I think it's really pretty. The dark green on the Accord is pretty similar, and there are quite a few of those out there.

Of course, for me, the interior was at least as important -- I wanted the parchment interior, not the black.

Those darker colors, while pretty, stand out too much to the cops

How's this? Or, next time you are driving around, see if you can spot a green Accord. Shouldn't be too hard. The color is about the same.

Compared to my bright red Fiero, a dark green sedan is invisible to cops.

I must disagree - - the DEP is not at all like the Honda Accord. The green on the Honda is a flat green. My neighbor across the street has a green accord and it is dull looking. My Acura definitely "shines" compared to that. Like an emerald To compare the two is definitely an injustice! Even trying to compare a black Honda with a black Acura. Sure, they are both black - - but the Acura practically sparkles. Just my 2 cents.

Dark colors blend, light colors (white, red) stand out more. Silver blends too, even though it's kind of light. Maybe that's just how it is in NY....

Looks great!

Does anyone know if I hop over the border and buy the eternal blue color in Canada if this car will meet U.S. specifications?
