The famous green colour found on jacks flame Bongo and Dargins sig Bongo is usually referred to as "Logan Green". However, reading about the CLB on the EB website there is a Shilouette sold June 14 2002 that is said to have the colour "Loden green". Even more confusing the image is called EMERALD.
As a lover of all things green (well, basses, lawns and money anyway) I want to know this stuff!

Dargin's Bongo (if I remember this right) was one of the Namm instruments from 2004...

We showed 4 new test colors for the Show

Petrucci and StingRay 4 in Copperhead Bronze metallic (rusty brown sparkle)

Luke and Bongo 4 in Radiant Red metallic (a real bright Candy Red)

Silhouette and Bongo 5 in Logan Green metallic (med green metallic)

Medallion Gold Metallic ... Silhouette Special
and Albert Lee(like trans gold but solid and metallic)

So there is a Silhouette in Logan green, but as it was first shown in 2004, the Silhouette sold in 2002 is unlikely to be the same one.

Edit: Here's a thread about Dargin's Logan green bongo...

The color is Envy Green. We changed the name when we ran the limited Edition

So it would seem you already have a Loden green Bongo, Strummer :)
