Ok...Reflections...your car looks almost like a yellow..is it just the way the light hits it or is that the actual color like that..now i'm thinking more along the lines of F6..still debating.

im going thru the exact same thing you are DF.  I think I want FJ5 for my car.  I took a bunch of pictures at Carlisle to help me make my decision.  I have good pictures of both FJ5 and FJ6.  I'll post them when I get home later on today.  Also, yes Reflections car looks kinda yellow in that picture, but Limelight is a very hard color to photograph.  I like it.  It looks greener in person.

These colors are hard to photograph, especially when comparing pictures taking in different light.  Before you make a decision, make sure you see them both in person.  Pictures of sublime stuff looks funky in pictures, but its just jaw-dropping in person, like most of the high-impact colors.

Not that there is a wrong choice between the two, but I like sassy grass.

thanks for the pics...man its a tough decision...i like the lime green because it stands out alittle more i think...but its jsut about a shade to light...if i could get it between sassygrass and lime and call it sassylime green or something then it would be awesome...what would i get if i mixed the two together??

You might try a custom green, it might be cheaper, too.  My local paint guy quoted me over $600 a gallon for the real-deal Sublime/Limelight green paint!   :o  I'm going to go for it, I just hope I don't screw it up when I go to put it on!   ;D

Don't know how good this stuff is, probably like Nason, dirt cheap though......

You might try going to a House of Kolors dealer and take a look at Lime Gold, at least I think that is the name. Really nice shade of green. I know a custom painter who used it to flame over a chrome yellow, sorry no pics.
