olive green anodization?

Anyone know of hubs/headset with green anodized finish similar to the Chris King 40th anniversary 'olive crate' color?

Onyx makes an anodized green that looks somewhat similar (at least in pictures). The green one, not the crazy green ones.

I've got a set of Project 321 hubs that are a dark green, not quite the olive crate color of King though. The King hubs are bead blasted before ano and that gives them a much different color representation. So keep that in mind when you're comparing a machined finish to the 40th Olive Crate.

The Onyx hubs are excellent rollers, but having owned a set of those in green and seeing the olive CKs in person I can attest that they're not at all similar in color. Have you considered getting a set custom anodized? T11s have a minimally-etched hubshell and a custom shop might be able to do it for you.
