Yes, I think that the typical TRG is too "mint" colored. The BRG (or
whatever
you want to call it) that was original on my 67TR4A had a definite blue
character
to the green, which the TRG seems to lack.

I have seen the Dupont Jaguar Racing Green. It is a wonderful color and
seems very close to my original paint. However, I was unable to compare
side by side. It seemed to me that it still had a fair amount of blue,
but
still maybe too much light green. Nevertheless, it was the first paint
that I saw that I said: "yep, that is the color for my restoration". I
will
try to see if I can get a color match to some section of my un-faded
green (TRG? BRG?) from inside the trunk.
