[Tigers] Forest green

	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.

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.
