Can't say about the Mac, but I wish my SO Extreme Green was a little "deeper" color... it's almost kind of yellowish. I'd like a really rich neon lime kind of color on it.

I for one like the SNAP ON Green Box color.............

I'm thinking that most all of the newer KRL SO boxes that are in use today, were bought out of the dealers current inventory versus special ordering.........???? (Am I wrong)

Having said that I feel that's why you dont see many newer (say since 2000 for example)
that arent Blue, Black or Red.

My KRL1022 is Electric Orange. I bought it from a trade school student who bailed out of the industry. I'm an old school Chevy fan and just really like the "Hugger Orange" and Chev eng color similarity.

Curious if YOU think I'm stuck with a bad color (Orange) or might many others like Orange and Extreme Green.

I also like the Darker Red, and Pretty Darker Blue that Snap On offers.

I may be selling my KRL when and if I can buy the MONTEZUMA ORANGE box with my Drawer configuration............

The mac green does not look good in person. I was picking between that and the orange when i bought my mb1300, after seeing the how dull the green i was I went with the orange

Wow tuba dave i cant beleive you were able to do that... like a magic trick :). Now i want to see a blue snap on box next to a orange mac and a purple cornwell box. Do it!

I just bought a bright orange 6s. I used to have a 7525 in the same color, and loved it until the day i sold it. Made a mistake, bought a silver box with stainless accents, (looked good on internet) and about 5 months later traded it in for a orange one that i know i like.

Idk why, but i like things that are different. All the boxes in every shop i have ever worked have been 90% black, red, blue, and a few hunter green.

Then i roll up with my bright orange matco, can see it from a mile away, people putting on sunglasses and welding helmets as to not hurt thier eyes, and i SMILE lol

An alternate reality in a parallel universe.
After seeing the side by side comparison, I prefer the Snap On green. :)

The MAC green is a little too flourescent for my liking.

+1 big time, and a big thanks to WVU Tuba Dave you made my choice easy! The reason I am looking is you guys have corrupted me and I am looking into a service cart and want it to be green.

What kind of cart are you looking at getting. Snap On doesn't offer their full color range on all of them.

My mac guy said they just changed to a slightly darker green color. They were having problems with the paint fading he didnt have a sample yet to look at.

Try looking at the KRSC31, 40, 41 and 46. They come in all of the std Snap-on colors including extreme green and orange and pretty much cover any design except for a single tray cart.

My Snap on Classic 78 is Tractor Green, not as bright as extreme green. I like it, its different, and I had to have it.
