        These are all good points.

I started this subject mostly because all the paint codes we have for the 
Rootes paints do not compute into today's paint codes.
The color atlas at the paint store has over 200 shades of green.
The CA280 paint code for Forest Green gives me a starting point for a color mix 
the paint store recognizes that may or may not need tweaking for a color match.

I also stated that I would be nice to have a modern paint code for all the 
Rootes paint colors so everyone has a starting point to touch up their paint or 
more.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Forest green

When I repainted my Lotus Formula Ford, I painted it Jaguar BRG (and John Deere 
yellow).  It was very close to the BRG on the Tiger as I received it 30 years 
ago or so. I should not have said that none of us got pinged any points - I 
can't swear by the others.  I can only swear I wasn't pinged any points at the 
concours for what I know is not the stock color.

But what my original point was is that getting touch-up paint for original 
color code 86 is not likely to help you as I suspect at this point few green 
cars still have this original shade.
