This gets even more interesting... or maybe less, but we're all on a forum so here goes.

The tint strip on my windscreen has always appeared brown/bronze.
Got to Safelite this morning and what they had waiting was green! It also had a chip in it, so they were unable to continue. This did open dialogue regarding available colors.

I called the Classic center and it turns out that green is in fact the original color and was installed on all north american w123s –European's had no tint

TBH I think it looks utterly garish and it's sort of stopped me in my tracks.
I have a classic white/palomino interior. Brown/bronze makes sense, but green?
Who would do such a thing?

Curious what everyone else has done.
