That is indeed called Spruce Green. It looks green in the right light. If you look at the decal in your door jamb, your paint code will be printed on there somewhere; Spruce Green is code FS.

Not sure where all my photos went... one more thing to do today. :mad:

Note: 2002 had the smallest production of all New Edge Cougars, and the special editions were a commensurate smaller percentage of that small number. So those are naturally going to be a little harder to find.
