The color seems to be a uniform green/bluish-green with deep metallic, logos/lettering is fuschia with pink outline, very plain "Taiwan" sticker on seat tube. Serial # is: PX222988.

199X Specialized Rockhopper Sport (all original with Shimano Exage group)

So it seems a bit clearer to me now that my Rockhopper Sport is a 1993 model year (frame produced in 1992) - the color scheme is the same as the Rockhoppper Comp. The difference being the group set: Comp came with full Deore LX and the Sport came with full Exage.
