That looks like a Jade color Ford would use. I've noticed on some the paint charts Jade varies a lot with the type. Polly- metallic etc.

Whenever I see Jade Green, I always end up picturing the "Dark Jade Green Metallic" they offered on 69 Mustangs.

Tell tale signs. Look at the engine compartment color compared to the exterior paint.
Also, the bottom of the vehicle looks like it's been swimming in the ocean. Geeez,
at least try and de-rust something. The engine compartment and under hood areas appear to be ignored as well. Yes, it looks to be an honest vehicle.....perhaps a little to honest.
Also notice the door jam tag has nothing on it but the Vin number......No trans, no color no nuffin'..........hmmm. Be very careful

The Jade Green colors for the Bronco in 1977 were Light Jade, Medium Jade Metallic, and Dark Jade Metallic. I'm not sure the 1971 color was called Jade, but it is close to the Light Jade.

Looking at this pic, I would think the color is a little off of factory original. Here is the fire wall.

Looks like the factory Mat is there still.

The original color for the '71 is actually color code 'O' and it is listed as 'Seafoam Green'.

The firewall color doesn't look like a '71 color. It looks more like '70 color called 'New Lime".

Its officially called Black Jade (then, Dark Moss Green in '70, cuz the 'Black' was confusing customers when they were ordering their cars).
My '69 mach 1's original color ;)

This is true.

I've had a couple dozen classic Mustangs, never one in this color. I always loved it, though.

This is my current one - proposed to my wife in it so she'd never force me to get rid of it ;)

Originally a 302 2bbl car, is now a 408W stroker. My Broncos are fun cruisers, but this is absolute racecar.
