I think a dark green would look good. Here is a members custom green that looks nice.

Seriously.

Back to the issue of green. IMO, I don't like that green on the Civic you mentioned, looks too close to a military green.

If you really have to go w/ green as a color for a car, I'd go w/ the British Racing Green. The green on that BMW isn't all that bad though.

I also agree w/ keeping it black. If you're worried about the car interrior heating up, put those folding window shades when you close up the car. That's what you need to keep the heat out.

VintageMac's green is even nicer in person. Very nice metallic emerald.

It gets my vote

If it's going to remain stock stay conservative on your choice.
From the choices listed I would say the Lexus Sage Green.
Try to convince her to stay black.
Tell her it's going to cost more to paint,terrible for resale,harder to color match if she gets into a fender bender,stands out so more attracts cops and kids who want to street to race,etc.
