Solved: Fender Colour Name (No Longer Banging Head Against Wall)

Bellycaster

I'm trying to recall the name of a Fender Colour, no idea why, I remembered the image of a Strat in this colour earlier today. It's a colour that I recall was not very pleasing to my eye.

I think I saw a picture of one on here once, or maybe it was another Guitar Forum. Even though the name escapes me, I know it would jump off the page if I saw it, and as such, I have not seen it listed on any Fender Colour Chart or other Fender Colour source.

So, I'm sure this colour was classed in the Green category, but, from memory, it is almost white, just the slightest hint of Green, like White Cabbage. Maybe even a shade paler than those babies below, but just as unappealing.




It must be a rare colour or maybe just a custom shop option.

It's bugging the fuck out of me. Anyone know?

PS, it's not Antigua.

No, even paler than that. Almost White.

Fender has done a variant of Surf Green called “super faded surf green” that is pretty pale and in the right light only just green. Google that, lots of examples…

Still not pale enough, it ain't it, I know it's not one of the "regular names" either.

I don't know the actual name but I know it has an unusual name, if that makes sense? When I saw the picture (a while back) I scoffed at why it had "Green" at the end as it would pass for white.

I remember that advert , the colour actually is as pale as the Apple White, but isn't called that.

Quite a selection here, but nothing I could see that fits your description.

Been through all those and more, chaps. Given myself a headache. I might have missed it but I have looked at many sources more than once.

I don't think I'm far off with the "Cabbage White" in terms of I think the colour is named after a plant or veg. That should be easy then, only have the whole alphabet of plants and veg to go through

Birch green?

Isn't "Cabbage White" a butterfly?

I painted my parents' kitchen in Apple White.  My living room used to be Almond White.  And my bedroom is a pale blue which might be.... Lavender White?  I'm not sure about that last one.  I like those colours.
