I have a 69 Bonneville Brougham with that same Expresso and green guts combo (in this case with a black Cordova top). I joke that it looks better with the doors shut and the windows up! There is a green tint to Expresso Brown so it's not that bad in person.
Back to that BJ IV car, a funny co-incidence is that the same selling dealer in BC also sold another 69 RAIV GTO with automatic and it was Expresso Brown with green interior. I spoke to the original owner back in the late 80's and he told me he bought the car new in the fall of 1970 when the 71's had come out and the dealer had painted it Midnight Green and heavily discounted it to finally get rid of it.
