I thought that would be easy to find but I couldn't.
Thanks,

I know for sure 2004, 2005. They may have had them in 2003 as well but I think they were model year 2004. They're called Goodwood Green.

The green/creme combo was also available for a short period as an accessory purchase, right? (can't recall which years)

Yes it was, that's a very rare color scheme.

If I recall correctly from the service manual(I'm at work now), the green Americas were only available in 2005. I think the 2004s that are mentioned are '05 models that were release in '04.

Two years - 04 and 05 models. When I bought my America I looked at the green, but fell in love with the Mulberry/Graphite.

Nope, mine's an '04 model manufactured in Dec '03. The 2003 range was black, red (and one other... black & silver I think?). The 04 was black, goodwood green, and capsian blue. The 05 range was black (seeing a theme here?) goodwood green, and mulberry.
And I am SO tempted to have mine repainted with the green/cream colour scheme.

Approximately what would it cost to paint a bike in that scheme?

By coincidence, there's a green '04 on eBait right now. Don't think I've seen one before, sure is a beautiful color.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Triumph-B...d=p4506.c0.m245Jack

Well...I have a front and rear fender in Goodwood Green for sale in great condition. Find a tank, paint it and you are good to go. Then sell your front and rear fender and tank and recoup your$$$

I actually wanted the Capsian Blue at the time, but was told there were none in the country and it would take two months to get one. They had a green in stock however which I'd only seen in photos up till then. Pictures really don't do the colour justice and once I saw it in person I had to have it. I've only seen one or two other greens, and it always gets great comments wherever I go.
As to what it'd cost to repaint in green/cream - no idea. If you have to ask, then you don't want it bad enough I guess. It'd depend on what condition your original paint was in, whether the painter could remove/paint over the silver or not, and a whole bunch of other stuff I guess.

I love my 2004 Goodwood Green America. It's a great color for a british bike. She was made in October 03.

You mean there's another way to spell "green"?
