Ice Mint Silver
Crystal Mint

Green is my favourite colour. I am particularly partial to lighter shades of green.

In my opinion the shape of the car makes a difference with colours.
I remember when the XD was released there were a couple of colours that carried over from the XC a Metallic Dark Brown with Gold and also a Metallic Dark Green with Gold which I think looked a lot better on the XC with the curvy shape.

Some of those two tone browns looked right on XD's.



My ol man first FORD after a long stint with Holden was a Ghost Gum XD Fairmont Ghia. Would look crap on anything but.
