Which color would look the best on my 2018 Clarity?

I see British Racing Green.

I was leaning toward that, even though it wasn't among the original 3 picks, they do look different in person.

Really it's down to the fir green or the Sherwood, but I think the Sherwood might be a little easier to position and apply. Tomorrow I'm going to hunt around for small things to wrap!

Found another pic of a Sherwood green car that seems to be truer to what my eye sees:

I received my 2018 Honda Clarity Touring from CarMax with a pristine interior about 10 days ago. Unfortunately the exterior paint has had a few bumps along the way. This Saturday my good buddy is doing a full paint reconditioning to clean it up...but here's the thing. There are 4 silver cars parked in my driveway today, and it's too darn many!

Due to the lackluster nature of the paint, this car was ~4k less than its comps in the inventory I could reach. As a former CM employee, I know if something sits in their inventory more than 45 days, they start listing it for less... and I'm pretty sure I got it for cost or below. Hence, I am paying that extra dough forward to giving this car its second life, and I'm going to wrap the whole car in a new color.

I want something blue or green, or a little bit of both. I've asked my work friends to help me narrow down my choices, but I figured since I am now a part of this lovely community, y'all can help as well.

SO, the Tesla (not mine) is wrapped in 3M Satin Thundercloud. It's a nice grey with a bit of blue, just like a...thundercloud :D I really like the subtle blue... My Prius Prime was Magnetic blue, which was a little too bright for me.

The Infiniti (again, not mine) is wrapped in ORACAL Moonlight Matte Metallic. This is a darker grey, and in the light the metal flake catches stronger blues and subtle greens.

Finally, Oracal makes a straight hunter green gloss called Juniper (and I really wish the Deco Chevy was mine). I feel a little more on the fence with this color, but I really do like green. Maybe it's because it looks less like a 'custom' color? There aren't enough green cars in the world! That’s why I’ve been checking out Car Wraps in Phoenix, AZ to see how this color would really look on a full vehicle.

So what should it be? I'm sure I'd be happy driving it with any of these and it's a tough call.
For your Honda Clarity, the best choice would be ORACAL Moonlight Matte Metallic. It blends subtle blues and greens, giving a dynamic, premium look that’s both unique and refined.
