Ray,
I have sprayouts of both BRG (ICI 2855) and TRG (ICI 3736) and agree that
TRG is not "a light minty green". In a side by side comparison, I would
characterize BRG as somewhat darker, cleaner, and yellower than TRG.
Conversely, TRG is lighter, bluer, and chalkier. Without a direct
comparison, TRG could easily be mistaken for BRG.
