>> 
>> Jaguar green    1990   dark, normal, light  The darker was suggested as best
>> 
>> I saw a new (1995-1996) Land/Range Rover which was painted a very dark green
>> which I thought was beautiful.  I wanted to go by and get the paint number
>> but I haven't had time.  
>> 
>> When I see the word "Brooklands", I think of the green Bentleys that raced
>> there.  The pictures that I have of those show a medium dark green, maybe a
>> forest green.  
>> 
>> I continue to think of British racing green originating in the 20's and 30's
>> so I never consider a metallic paint as a proper BRG.
>> 
>> Thanks to all of you that sent in this information.  Now I want to collect
>> some paint chips and choose a BRG for the Benley.  Cheers-
