Sublime green was part of Chrysler's 1970 high-impact paint program — vivid colors with names that shouted, designed to read at a stoplight. FJ5 is the lime-green entry. Bright Red (FE5), Plum Crazy / In-Violet (FC7), TorRed / Hemi Orange (EV2), Lemon Twist (FY1), and Sublime are the canonical high-impact set.
