In response, I am reposting a note from another lister. Since the 1-800
number may not work from Holland, I called and got a number for ICI in
Wijchen: 024 6424977
Not sure if that is the number to call from over here or if it is as you
need it. guess you can figure that one out.
good luck.
Carl

Dave,
I have two ICI code numbers for Apple Green:
2472-'65-'69
2920-'56-'71
>From my experience, years of usage data is somewhat unreliable.
For your
particular car, 2920 is most likely the proper color. I have
sprayed metal
sample panels of both colors. 2920 resembles an olive green,
2472 could be
described as lighter than 2920, resembling what one would think
of as a
muted apple green.
Triumph Racing Green is mfg. code 25, ICI 3736. It is also known
as
"Conifer" and could be considered close to what one would think
of as BRG.
TRG/Conifer began to be used on TR4's and I would therefore not
consider it
a proper color for your vehicle.
All of these colors are readily available from ICI in a state of
the art
single layer urethane system called "2K". Call ICI customer
service at
1-800-647-6050 for a local source of supply.
Hope this helps.
