FYI while that green on the above LT1 sample is the wrong green we were looking to have close to a Coleman color i agree, (they were test color models) that we were looking to get, there is, and never was, a single āColeman Greenā I guess you only have the one lantern and one green? I have probably 85+ GPA lanterns in my collection, and probably about 60 different Colemans from 1921 up until the last fuel model they produced, and most of the various greens below. Coleman used every shade of green from extremely dark forest (almost black) green, to Seafoam green, Phitalo Green, various other Pantone greens, and the most common one they used on their most popular through the 80ās 90ās, 2000ās, 335, 321, 222, Easilite, the 356~357 Pantone greens was used. (same color on many of their 421, 430, 505, 502, etc. stoves as well.) (the Easi-lite 222 Coleman lantern in the bottom row, far right of the below photo is 357 Pantone green. ( > Pantone / PMS 357 / #144d29 Hex Color Code, RGB and Paints )
I dont think my statement was argumentative or unclear ā¦. as I said āI prefer the #574 Olive Drab Green ā¦ā¦ its closer to the color of my āColemansāā
that isā¦ā¦ if you are going to use the colors you used in the pollā¦ā¦ but if it makes you feel any better all of my Colemans are the same color.
I have several but Im not a āCollectorā
The only way I would have that many colemanās is if I found a box of em somewhere
Hopefully when I get the LT1s (whatever color) I wont even need my Colemans anymoreā¦
Im tired of toting fuel and changing mantles,
Although it would be nice to look up and see an Dark Green LT1 and be able to remember all the good times Ive had with the Colemans.
Iām planning on a strip-down and repaint when my first LT1 arrives. You have me thinking that a photo documented āhow toā might be worth the effort.
Hmmmā¦ I wonder what flavors of Green I can get Krylon in.
I seen a camo anodized flashlight somewhereā¦ but canāt remember where. That would be the most difficult color pattern iām guessing. If only Real-tree Camo was possibleā¦
Hydro dip is a process in which the paint pattern is floated on the surface and the product is dipped. The paint pattern adheres when the product is removed. Thatās it in a rough nutshell.
