John Deere made a significant change to their iconic green color in 1989. Until that year, all John Deere equipment was painted in what is now referred to as “Classic Green.” Starting in 1989, they introduced a new shade called “Ag and Turf Green,” which is slightly brighter and has a bit more pop compared to the Classic Green. The Classic Green color is a bit darker and has a slightly duller tone. If you’re looking to match the paint on older John Deere equipment, you’ll need to use the Classic Green to get the right color match for anything manufactured before 1989. For equipment made from 1989 onwards, the Ag and Turf Green would be the correct choice (West Equip) (GreenPartStore) (GreenPartStore).
