Gordon,
            Neo Green was called that everywhere, it was never called BRG, I
think BRG is copyright.

Subject: Re: Melange Mica (gold) coming to America? I think so.


Oh, great - that means that it could, in fact, be a mixture of all the
recent
blues for yet another blue...

As an aside, it's curious that Mazda uses different names for the same
colour -
Evolution Gold / Orange, Grace Green everywhere (including Canada) outside
the
US where it is Emerald Green, Innocent Blue became Sapphire Blue Mica for
the
10AE in the US, BRG everywhere was Neo Green in Japan.  I'm not sure what
they
are calling the 10AE colour in Canada, but I'll find out tomorrow, the local
dealer is holding a special unveiling of the 10AE for our club a week before
the
local auto show.
