[Tigers] Forest green

[Darrell Mountjoy]

BTW, Another thing I learned from the Brits, there is no standard for “British Racing Green” (BRG) in the period of our cars… probably the same today.  Look at Aston Martin’s BRG. It is a relatively light, metallic green with a hint of blue.  Then the Lister BRG, Lotus’ BRG, Morgan’s BRG (a color match for John Deere tractor green), and Rootes Group’s Forest Green. They are all very different greens.

I think Darrell nailed it!  I think my dad's/my Tiger is that color, with some, but not all of the milk removed.

FWIW, to me, the color code *86 Foirest Green looks like someone took a nice
"forest green" and dumped some milk in it.  Not pretty.
I much prefer the 1971-1972 Jaguar Racing Green.  To me it embodies the true
spirit of a British Racing Green.  As it happens my street Tiger is this
color.  Also, all three Sunbeam Lister Tigers are just about spot-on to this
color.
