Identify a rare Gibson color (sort of surf green)

[Zillie]

I don't have any better pics than this:

does anyone know what's the name of this color? any more pics of such color?

thanks in advance

I wonder if it's a refinish to surf green, sea foam green, or teal metallic green.

Looks like Sonic Blue slightly aged, to me

Kerry Green.

 

[germs]

that looks an awful lot like Pelham Blue, aged or sprayed with a yellow-tinted clear.

I think I saw the same guitar on TV recently, maybe American Idol (okay, my wife makes me watch it)? Looks awesome on an SG.

Reminder: stage lighting drastically alters the apparent color of a guitar.

Kerry Green all the way....

 

[Zillie]

yep, it looks like Kerry Green... Gibson's Kerry Green = Fender's Surf Green

It might also be inverness green. Just saw a sweet custom 335 listed as that color go up on eBay this morning (BTW I have no affiliation with the seller of this auction):

That looks NOTHING like Pelham Blue.

It might also be inverness green.

That also looks NOTHING like Inverness Green.

Both Pelham and Inverness are darker metallics.

Frost Blue or Kerry Green, depending on the lighting. Can't really get 100% from that pic, but it's a pastel-ish custom color or possibly even a pearl finish (non-Gibson).

Probably kerry green, but the frost blues defintely "fade" towards green. I saw a 91 firebird that i know for sure started out frost blue, but was WAY green.

I could not agree more!!

I had one of the F.B. Firebird VIIs from that small CS run. Awesome guitar - mine didn't fade/yellow (at least not while I had it), but I have definitely seen 3-4 others that turned Kerry Green within the first 5-6 years.
