Default Anybody with a teal windshield from Memphis Shades?

Would like to see a pic of the accurate color because it looks like turquoise to me but memphis shades staff told me is more "like a hunter green" so if someone has this windshield can you please post a pic with accurate color?

Thank you

If you get one or locate a pic of one please post. I'd be interested in one for my wife's Deluxe if it was close enough to her paint. If it's hunter green then it's definitely a no go.
If it was similar to the color in your avatar that would be nice.
I found this one so far:

This may not help, but I ordered the blue which didn't match either of my colors. Very bright. Yet it accented well and looked very good on the bike when I had it

Caution, the tint is on the back side of the shield. After lightly washing it maybe 10x, the tint started to come off

Edit: my pic is so old it still has that ws

I bought a Memphis Shades windshield for my EG Classic with the "teal" coloring on it. The color isn't real close to the color shown in the small photo someone posted. I'd say it's a bit more green. I have since taken this windshield off the bike as I bumped it and cracked it. I don't recall if I just left it in my garage or tossed it out.
We had a foot of snow today but I'll make a path to the garage and see if I still have it. If I do I'll take a photo of it. I did have a different problem with it. It developed these "crazed" marks throughout the tinted part of the windshield. I was going to contact Memphis Shades about it but I cracked the windshield and it became a non issue.

ThanK you! What's that scratch issue about? Never heard of that on a tinted plastic except if it's painted instead of colored plastic...

Is you have it cracked and useless will you send me a small piece of the colored part? just a coin size piece would be enough I will pay te mail cost and a beer (or two) for the inconvenience. If not a pic can bit also helpfull if you can put something recognizable next to it like a can of coke I can work with photoshop to get the exactly accurate color (or a complete white piece of paper.

Thanks a lot. Hope the windshield stills there in the garage :-)

That thumbnail photo will become a little larger if you click it. But great information about it being more green. That will never do for mama's bike.

I didn't find the windshield in my garage. Though I have motorcycle parts stored in several places. Here's what I think is a good photo that shows the color. I had to resize it to send it. I hope that I've attached it properly.

I can send you a larger size photo if you want. If you send me your email address I can send the larger file.

The windshield developed this "crazing" throughout the colored area of it. I thought I read somewhere that Memphis Shades had some problems like that and you needed to contact them. It appeared like small tiny fractures within the plastic. They weren't really cracks and they had nothing to do with me cracking the windshield. I slipped with the bike moving it in the garage and the windshield contacted the cinderblock wall and cracked it. I bought this windshield back in about 2007/2008 so that was a while ago.
This "crazing" didn't get me too upset and after I cracked the windshield, that was the end of it.

every shield I got from them did this. When I spoke to them about it they said it was from whatever I was using to clean it. They did send me a new one and I followed cleaning instructions and it still did it. I loved it when it was new but that faded quickly with the "crazing"
