Dark Green Metallic cars!!

I came from a small farming town in rural Nebraska. Everybody around called this cow **** green. I like it better now, but I used to hate it. A friend of mine had a 69 Hemi Road Runner that color with a saddle interior. He sold it many years ago, the new owner restored it and it was stunning with new paint and clear coat.
Did they still call it cowshit green after it stomped them at the Saturday night street races?
