The colour is, IMHO, Florida Green (GN1). Derek Job and I had a fairly extensive
discussion about it in the context of UOC 741 many years ago (2005). The only
other candidate is possibbly Pacific Green GN9.

It's difficult to tell from the photo. I plumped for Florida Green in the
expectation that the photo has knocked back the colour.  Given that, BMC/AH
probably went for a brighter, more vibrant colour, allowing for the variations
in colour print quality at the time and their desire to impress the public.
