Turns out Juniper Green is a very very dark olive green shade
Jupiter Green would be a super cool name - not sure if it exists yet

I don't know if it was a "Spring Color" that cost extra on all cars
Or if it might have been a Firebird Only color
It was $113 extra charge on a GTO
Have not seen an invoice for a JULEP Bird

Judging by the color chart it would have to be code 36 but that looks dark to me. We have to consider that chart has aged some and the computer put its own spin on it. If I had to guess I would say it looks more like code 45 Emerald, but I realize that's not a Pontiac color. I should have taken a picture of the trim tag. Next time I'm at the car I'll get a picture of the tag.
