Our hearts sank when we saw them.  We love that color so much.  We should have gone with our instinct.
First time I can recall recognizing that  green with envy could be more than just a colloquial expression.

We first were attracted to Phoenix Cruisers by that green color.  I always wonder when you have something really unique like that color, it is done away with and is no more.   Same in all vehicles.  It seems most new cars and SUVs today are white, silver, grey or black.  Me?  My Jeep Grand Cherokee is bright red.  We would have selected a green PC over any other color if we were buying today and it was available.  I don't know if we belong to a distinct minority or if it is just easier to mass produce shades of grey in vehicles.   To each his own.  BUT, when ordering full body paint on a custom coach I don't know why you couldn't have purple if you want it???

As I understand it, you can get it painted anything you want.  The Phoenix suggested colors are to give a standard set of matching 'swirls'.  I know there were coaches on the line with mine that had other colors, including one they wanted all white only.

The green color is really nice, I saw one at the Phoenix Cruiser Travel club rally last year.  I'm not 100% sure I would have selected that color but it certainly would have been under consideration. 

One reason for black / gray / white is that they do not age.  Other colors seem to go in and out of fashion thus dating a car or truck or coach.  On the highway I can guess how old a coach is when one goes by with the Winnie orange or that cool blue color.  Not sure it matters as much on a coach but on a car a neutral color has a better resale value.  Or is at least easier to sell.

I do have to say one good thing about our color choice.  It surely hides the dirt well.  roflol
Our rig was a total mess when I took this picture, but it doesn't stand out much.  The back wall looks clean but it was horrible.

We probably would have bought the green also. As a side note, the sales rep at the time seriously pushed the black and grey to the point of giving me a hard time about choosing the bronze and tan color scheme... Which we chose and love. We get a lot of compliments on it.
