"Kelly Green"

October 17, 2020
Back in the early '90's, Vance started a company called Flintstone Materials selling stone, loam and other various materials. He purchased a utility service truck and brought it to the body shop to have it painted. Without presenting any code numbers or swatches, he told them, casually, he wanted it painted Kelly Green (because apparently everyone knows what Kelly Green is). 

Later, when Vance returned to the body shop, much to his surprise, he found a bright lime green truck! Vance shouted at the attendant, "I told you I wanted Kelly Green!" (there may have been some expletives in there). Apparently, in the absence of clear guidance, the body shop referred to the code listings for a 1973 Porsche in "Kelly Green" as shown in the attached photo. Vance got a lot of attention with his newly-painted truck!
