Black Emerald??
I've always thought the dark green 3rd gen was black emerald. My father in law who owned a new 85 max and a new 95 max said that black emerald came out in 95. Remembering his 95 it was so dark green that it was almost black. What is our dark green called?

Touch up - the dealership. You take your car in or call in with the paint code. Mine I believe is black emerald. I bought a touch up pensil back in 2002 by the code and it was a perfect match. I still have it and it can be reused even after so many years. Go with the dealer stuff if you can afford like $6-7 price. If you need much more than they can sell you a spray can.

(they only have 92 and 94 though) - go to maxima.org, then shop talk, then reading room
Those are the same color charts and options lists from the dealer brochures

Now I'm not sure. I looked at the 92 stuff and black emerald is not there. It is there in 94. My car that I want to know about is a 93. The information is not available for that year. I just want to see it for sure. It is funny too that Aztec Red was available in 92 and not 94. I really want to see a chart for 93.

My paint code is DJ2. That's what the dealer wanted and they found it out by the VIN number. Then I tried the same with my Accord and had a rude awaikening, realizing that Honda VIN cannot help to find out the factory paint colour.

man I dont visit the board for a while and people forget that you can go to paintscratch.com and get paint codes lol. Actually I didnt read the entire thread so it may have been mentioned.
One thing you have to keep in mind is that a color may be called 5 different things from paint manufacturer to paint manufacturer.
Just because Nissan calls it one thing doesnt mean Duplicolor, PPG, DuPont or other manufacturers call it the same thing. Its really kind of weird.
DJ2 is offered in 93. Its a really dark green. It should be the same color as the 4th gens as well (looks the same on paintscratch) because companies usually change the paint code if they change the color even if its a slight change and on different years. You shouldnt have the same code with different colors even with different years.
Nissan calls it black emerald but like I said the manufacturers will call it something else...but regardless it was an optional color on a lot of 3rd gens (not sure all the years) and was out before 95.
