The closest I've found to that color was a later MG color, Brookland
Green. It's the color that I got for my smallmouth. My impression of BRG
is that it's a dark green that can look almost black under some
circumstances.
The color code for R-M Alpha-Cryl acrlic lacquer is HAE. It says on the
label that it's for 76-77 Rover and BMC cars.
