Palmetto is a lovely colour. The only one I've seen here in the USA belongs to a guy in Pennsylvania.

My bad, I always get those 2 colors mixed up... apparently, Palmetto Green was never offered as an option in the US.

Pistachio Green, however was, and it is a very rare color over here.

so are we talking about pistachio green?when i was looking for a 2.2 sport one came up for sale at the bmw dealers in exeter.was a very good price for main dealer but it looked gold hence i didnt buy it.im sure thats why it was relatively cheap.not a colour i would go for im afraid.was ok in the 1980's but not now.however white has come back so perhaps in five years time gold will be back.....err.no.i dont think so.

Pistachio isn't exactly green.

More a sort of goldy beige... at least to my eyes.

Cheers R.
