[TR] TR] Recommendations for dark BRG paint codes?

[spamiam at comcast.net]

Don,

Jag Brooklands Green is a very nice BRG.  Just on the blue side of the 
blue/yellow balance compared to Triumph Racing green.  IMHO just right.

Mazda Miata made a nice BRG for a single year (AFAIK) 1993.  That is very 
close to TRG, but better.  Less of an olive cast, and less of a chalky base 
to the color too.

As my TR3B (TSF202L) gets closer to being on the road than it has for almost
thirty years, it's time to think about paint.  I'd like best recommendations
from the list for paint codes for the early Jaguar dark British Racing
Green.

The later green, code HEN, is dark, but a little lighter than my memory of
the earlier ones.  I'm changing the color from it's original Signal Red,
which took some thought, but green it's gonna be.

Here's where it stood a couple of months ago, after we "modified" the shell
to let the seat go back a little bit farther for this six foot six driver.
It's mostly in primer now.  Target:  Driving by its 50th birthday on April
12, 2012.
