Well, the real answer is that there is more than one shade of BRG-
The British manufacturers themselves, (who ought to have the right)
tagged the colours as BRG. The more "modern" BRG's are usually fairly
close the "forest green". And there are other similar colours which are
not called BRG. (and Aston Martin has their own factory colour)
The early Alfas were a much darker red than the current image of
"Italian Red", as well.
You want colour problems? Try matching white sometime!
