I would not argue the point extensively, but as I remember, there was a distinct difference between the BL/MG "BRG" of the early 60's and the Triumph TR-3A "BRG." The MG was darker, and flatter. The Triumph was slightly lighter and more of a true green. The later MG "BRG" had a touch of yellow. Jag in the time frame of 55-65 produced a lushious metallic green, which they called "Jaguar Racing Green." This had a touch of red, yellow, black, and gold metalflake. Jag also had a BRG that was lighter than either the Triumph or MG, and this was not a metallic. I would need to find some very old color code books to get the exact mixing colors. Cheers. James A.
