I will have to consult my brochures to see which colors were only offered in limited years. I know that TBM was only a 91-92 offering.

Now see, I think I know where there is a Twilight Blue Metallic Sedan sitting that I have driven. I'm pretty sure that is what the loaner car here is colored.

Now that I realize the color I don't think that one is that rare.

But honestly, I don't think I've ever seen in person a Cobalt Blue Legend, I have seen the Dark Gray (Charcoal) color and in fact one recently sold here in Boise. Sedan with Gray/Gray and it was a '92 I think.

I actually saw a brown one here in Boise today also.

Geneva green metallic.. its slightly darker than Sherwood green right? in that case, I have one of those. its exactly like the one thats being parted out, but in much better condition.

Geneva Green was the Green from '91 to '93. Sherwood Green ran from '94 to '95.

I don't know if it is the rarest, but my Golden Glow Pearl (only available in '91) is so rare I have not seen ANY other cars this color. I parked next to other "gold" cars (Honda and some domestics) the other day at a mall parking lot. I turned to look and said to myself "damn! you got one GOLD car"...not sure if that is good or not

...I still love it though...it shines like a motherfo.

As far as the dark blue, this past month, I keep seeing this true blue Legend on my morning commute. We play leapfrog a few times a week. It is like the color of New York Mets blue (or the blue internet explorer bar at the top of your webpage right now...unless you customized your colors). Not sure if it is oem or not. Hopefully will see him when the weather is nice and windows are down.

I've seen the cobalt blue before, and the brown. I did realize that my my 91LS sedan color setup was rare being twillight blue metallic with blue leather interiorm the only other legend I seen with the same setup was Legendary1991 sedan.

But the only color I never seen repeated was my boys 95SE, which was dark gray metallic with a lighter gray lower trim.I always loved that color but.never seen it duplicated. Before I knew anything about the Legends different trims.I always wondered why he had rear tweeters! And the sedan I later bought didn't have them.

So I guess I've seen most or all of the rare ones.I didn't even know my white/black coupe was rare.

I like the green legend that looks like it has the alloys. i dunno it looks like a more up to date car a little bit

I think GGP is pretty rare myself. I have only seen one car IRL in this color, and two on these forums.
