[TR] Recommendations for dark BRG paint codes?

[John Macartney]

I've been following this thread and would just add my HO on what constitutes 
British Racing Green.
For a start and contrary to popular opinion, there is no true colour blend or 
mix for BRG. True BRG has a substantial amount of Olive green in it and the 
nearest you'll get to what many on this side of the Atlantic (UK) feel is the 
*right* shade is to examine pre-war Bentleys of the pre-Rolls Royce era. Even 
that isn't an exact science as many have been repainted, but the Bentley Owners 
Club (so I was told in 2002) still keeps the original colour mix formula for 
those who truly aspire to emulating the original colour. Don't know whether it 
is willing to impart the info - but it might, for a donation to club funds?
All other 'British Racing Greens' of the post-war mass production era on Astons, 
Healeys, Jaguars, MG's, Sunbeams and Triumphs (to name but a few) are just not 
true British Racing Green.
