Question: what color is the charger in dirty mary crazy larry

title: Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry
text: There is the assumption that film developers thought the Dodge Charger was actually bright yellow and so `` corrected '' the film negatives to eliminate the greenish tint on the car . In fact , the entire movie in theaters , TV and on VHS was originally very warm toned . The color was more correct in the 2005 DVD release ( and later Blu - ray releases ) and the Dodge Charger became the correct limegreen color ( Sometimes falsely considered to be the 1971 Chrysler color `` GY3 Curious Yellow / Citron Yella '' - a color that is actually a very bright yellow in natural sunlight - and not greenish . ) . A newer image of apparently one of the actual ( unrestored ) movie cars spotted in a backyard confirms the color to be limegreen and not yellow or `` curious yellow '' . Given the custom look of the car , with custom wheels and tires , custom stripe , vinyl roof moldings but no vinyl roof , one can assume the limegreen color is custom as well and may not be a factory Chrysler / Dodge color - although , the car 's color looks close to the Dodge color `` Sublime '' ( code FJ5 ) .
