I don't see why people like the Highland Green on a mustang. It looks like it belongs on a 1990's Mercedes..

Dark Highland Green rules

I may be partial, but I like Dark Highland Green a lot. That being said, my wife had a cyber green bug, which was very cool and the Focus RS I saw in green at Elkheart Lake looked awesome. I hope its close.

That color is NOT going to age well. The new will wear off quick and there will be some people extremely sick that they bought it. Will work out good for someone that does like it, but can't afford to buy a new one because it'll be hard as hell to get rid of in a year or two, and prices will follow demand, which will be low.

There is Grabber Lime which seems to be closer to Gotta-Have-It Green. Grabber Lime was offered only for the 1971 model year.

I hate how there are so many shades of conformist colors on the Mustang, almost like people just want to play it safe and blend with traffic. I'd be fine with paying a 'premium' charge of $600 or whatever just to get my non-red/blue/black/silver/white car.
+1 on everything you said except getting the green. Grabber Orange or Screaming Yellow would be winning colors on the V6 and GT. That way they can keep the School Bus Yellow exclusive to the Boss but V6/GT drivers don't have to be bored to death like they are forced to now with those yawning standard colors.

Legend lime is hot, always will be!, I don't think I would like a mint green mustang or any car in green. I would never even buy a green mustang but it's cool to look at lol

I will NOT buy a color called "School Bus Yellow" but will happily buy a '13 Grabber Orange GT500 if they can make me one that says that. Who do I call to ask about that?

It's funny but when Speed Channel's special on the Boss 302 aired EVERYONE was talking about how much they liked the green on the 70's striped Boss. The green did appear "richer" than the green in these pics. So maybe it's just the pic quality?

Looks like you won't be buying a '13 then.

Guys, sorry to break this to you, but you can call all you want, but it won't do any good. Ford WILL NOT paint a car anything other than what is available for the Mustang for the 2013 model year. No custom colors, no colors from another model line. They won't do it. The only way to get anything in a custom color (and this doesn't happen often) is when a company buys 5 or more of one vehicle (like a F250 truck). And that is usually done via Fleet sales.
