Jaguar green 1990 dark, normal, light The darker was suggested as best
I saw a new (1995-1996) Land/Range Rover which was painted a very dark green
which I thought was beautiful. I wanted to go by and get the paint number
but I haven't had time.
When I see the word "Brooklands", I think of the green Bentleys that raced
there. The pictures that I have of those show a medium dark green, maybe a
forest green.
I continue to think of British racing green originating in the 20's and 30's
so I never consider a metallic paint as a proper BRG.
Thanks to all of you that sent in this information. Now I want to collect
some paint chips and choose a BRG for the Benley. Cheers-
