I think I probably remembered the name of that color incorrectly. I should have said Opaque Green. When I worked at Schwinn shops in the 70s, Paramounts were available in all current Schwinn colors, though the quality of the finish was typically better on the Paramounts.

I am sure there is someone out there with an Opaque Green Schwinn who loves it to pieces, but it wouldn't be me.

Steve Barner, pining for his old black P13 but would settle for one in Campus Green Fleck, in Bolton, Vermont.
