Post Fern leather..is it green or grey???

Hi all,

I'm getting close to getting a 01 TL w/o Nav and debating between the Satin Silver or Taffeta White with Fern. [I like the Silver but my wife isn't a fan of the black leather, and beige is out of the question: gets too dirty and doesn't hide dirt/stains.]

Here's my question: what shade of color is the FERN? On Acuras site, it appears to be a puke green, but the color sample in the TL brochure looks more of a dark grey. Unfortunately, Acura 101 in Calabasas, CA has like 3-4 TLs in stock and none in Fern.

Thanks much,
Steve

Asteve-
I just bought a satin silver TL and I would have bought the Laguna green if it didn't come with the Fern only. The Fern is green and is the least attractive of the interior colors in my opinion. However, I love the white and the laguna.

I disagree. We loved the color. It's more grey then green. We had a Honda Accord with tan and we could never keep it clean. This color is perfect, not too light, not too dark.

I love the Fern interior! I agree that it's a little more grey than green, so it compliments the Laguna perfectly IMO. HOWEVER, I just can't picture it in a white car. I bet it would be a rarity. Hope that helps.

Thanks anyways - I finally saw a Taffeta white w/ fern yesterday...it definitely is more of a grey tone. [I'm not sure why Acura calls it a 'fern' as it is VERY hard to see the green tint...].

I have finalized my choice!!!

Thanks all,
Steve
