I would call it light Yellow Green with amber swirls. Beauteous!

Very nice jar! One thing that Redbook talks about Mason's patent 1858 jars is the color intensity and hues which can make prices vary. Sometimes pricing these jars can be very tough but the color of yours is very nice and not your average everyday color. Nice find and thank you for sharing!

You can pick up many different colors in this jar. I would say that the price you would look for would be under light olive green with amber swirls. The richer or darker the colors get, the higher the price will get. I am not trying to take anything away from your jar, but this is a listed jar.

I haven't checked again but I think the only thing listed light olive amber swirl was a HG if I remember right.. Update I checked an couldn't find a light olive w Amber swirl for a 1787 what you maybe thinking of is a smooth lip mine is ground lip

What is the price for the half gallon light olive with amber swirls? I would also look at some of Greg Spurgeon's past auctions, this is what I do most of the time because you can see what current prices are. I do not have my copy of Redbook in hand so I just have to take your word for it. If you feel it is unlisted you should talk to the author. He will be able to explain this better than me. I collected jars for many years but only midget pints.

biggest thing I need is a more advanced person to tell me the color.. I beleive what you told me an I am not trying to argue about the listed or not listed just sayin that almost all amber swirls listed are smooth lip..
