Metallic paint can change hue depending on the angle of sunlight and when taking photos it only adds to the problem. It could very well be green looking at the trunk area.

True, I'll give the guy who listed it the benefit of the doubt in that case.

As far as the picture, though, and the guy who was looking at it with me and saying it was green... I don't think I can extend that leeway.

I'm pretty sure that is not the original color, so it's possible it was repainted a different color. You can usually check the inside of the doors to see if the color matches the body.

What is that, a Honda Civic?

Just go to their website and look at the color offerings.
I believe the color is "Dyno Blue".

That is a terrible repainted metallic sparkle blue. Ask the seller to open the driver's door and read the color from the label there though.

I am not color blind and have taken several tests to prove this to myself.

I had a light blue 94 Accord that was actually Emerald Green or somesuch according to the label. I went to the dealership to get some touchup paint and the guy told me to go read the door color because he didn't actually have a blue. I get the 'green' paint and it's obviously blue. Sometimes even the car manufacturer is retarded and color blind.

Looks like a 1994-1997 Honda Accord.

Had to say with the lighting when picture was taken, but I'll go with Mystic (Teal) Blue Pearl ;)

OP, open the driver side door/trunk and look for the color code. Compare with the chart posted in link.

Obviously it's burnt orange.

I remember the first time I saw a car that color. I thought it looked pretty cool and it wasn't very common.

Apparently millions of other people felt the same way, because 5 years later I see it every damn time I go anywhere.

and well, teal is basically right between blue and green so if the color is called teal officially I think the blue v.s. green debate will never resolve.
