I think that 1/2 of the cars Pontiac built from 68-70 were verdoro green, LOL, some of us have reverted to calling it "mandatory green".  Strangely enough, when introduced it was supposed to be a Firebird only colour (at least according to Jim Wangers) but they must have gotten such a good deal on it from Dupont that they started using it on everything.  I also think it was one of the few colours that was not shared with other divisions as most other colours are.
