Based on the photo below, I'd love something that matched that seafoam green, which I think is similar to what you're saying Andy. The surf green looks more like the older Bianchis I've seen (again, assuming the lighting, camera, screen etc. is correctly showing colors).

The surf green at Prismatic Powders looks nothing of the type and has a weird texture. So I ordered sea foam green and surf green swatches from Columbia Coatings for more comparing on my end. I'll line them up with the seafoam green from Prismatic and snap a picture or two. On the screen they look a bit different than anything else so we'll see how they look in person.

At least I'm not alone in this quest!

I did this a couple of weeks ago and have had it sitting on my desk, The first day I did this, I carried it around a bit to see how it would look in various lighting. No, really, I'm fine.



That's the Sea Foam Green and Sea Foam Pearl swatches bent into a curve and taped together. The Pearl is the one on the left, but honestly I can hardly tell them apart without a magnifying glass (or looking at the label). They look less green on my monitor than they do in person.
