Offered in 1996 and 1997 in XJs and TJs. It was only offered on the SE and Sport trim levels in the XJ and TJ. The previous poster is correct, it was called "Citron Green"

I don't think I've ever seen an XJ in that color. Cool. Also, the TJ came out in '97. '96 was a skipped year like the 1983 'vette .

I think he may know that. Some owners got their TJs pretty early in 1996 - pre September I have read.

As a die-hard TJ owner, I have to admit that color looks better on the JK's.

I thought Jeep toutted the Rescue Green as a "signature" color? I guess they just changed the name and tagged it "new."
