Help on finding THE color!?
 
I really need to settle on a paint code for my Mustang (see GT2 under Projects).
Here are the renderings:

The green in the rendering is a classic British Racing Green like this with no metallic effect at all, just flat dark green. I'm all for it, just afraid that a classic color will clash with the modern looking wheels. I'm looking through modern Jag paint codes and they are either too dark to be able to see the black stripes or too emerald/metallic for my taste.
Any suggestions (WITH paint codes or traceable color name) for a modern version of the British Racing Green are most welcome! Pics/link please!

That's a tough one, you don't see that many green cars these days. I'm all for it, though. Your rendering looks bad ass.

Doesn't Lotus have a signature green? How does that look?

You may check on the earlierJaguar BRG, thats a great color and no metallic. Plus, I dont think its quite as dark a shade:thumbsup:

Yeah, thats the way the vote swings so far. Jag, Rover and MG all have modern metallic versions but I'll probably stick with the oldschool flat. Lotus' current BRG seems the brightest and not quite as dark as the rest. Thanks!
