Well, for what it's worth, green is rated as one of the least common colors for cars on the road from Dupont. Blue is gaining popularity. so if you want to get a color that's considered more "rare" get the green. I also like green. However, I bought intense blue pearl for my car.

pearl isnt just mixed in paint usually.

a proper pearl paint job would be something along the lines of:

-basecoat
-pearl intercoat
-clear
-look at car and smile.

the last one is optional depending on how good your painter is.
