Platinum Green in 2005?
Hardly Dirk, let's see a picture... In a different thread of course as not to derail my own thread!
That color ended in 2003

Just turned 100k on that lemon you sold me. I had to replace a fuse. Ok, I didn't have to replace it,I just had to clean the connector, but that took 6 seconds of my life.

GLWS..someone will score with this one.

It was sold to me as platinum green. I didn't research it myself so I don't know. There are already photos in the "lets see your Volvo" thread, so I'm posting just one here. If you know what color it is, could you let me know?

There is no Barents Green only blue
This is Plat. Green. It's a hard color to shoot accurately.
That was a 2002 shot in 2004 so it hasn't faded or changed color yet

I went out to get the color code from my car which is 449. Apparently, my car is Mistral Green.
It looks pretty close to the platinum though.

In any case, the dealer I bought the car from had no clue :shock:
