Yesterday I saw a clean Calibra (no really) the colour was a very dark green almost like the mallard green the escos came in many moons ago. I've since tried googling it but the only colours i can find are Rio Verde and Mika (not the singer). The car was standard so I'm presuming its a Vauxhall colour, any pictures, info or paint codes will be much appreciated.

369/65L Rio Verde

Not sure about Mika... do you mean Mica, which is a paint style?

mica is just the coat you put on before the top coat for pearlescent finishes.

mica pearl is an addative within the paint to give light reflections and shiney glitteryness :D

I love mica pearls, they are also used in cosmetics :D and yes i am buying a **** load to random add to clear coats :P

Rio is a nice deep metallic green, there are a lot of variants on this tho and yes one has a mica pearl shoved in there iirc
