Lorenz

As Martyn pointed out, there are many shades of green used on UK racing
cars.

Napier would be the first, I think, followed by Sunbeam, Bentley, ERA,
Talbot, Lagonda, Aston Martin, Vanwall, Cooper, BRM, Lotus, Connaught.

Lagonda and Talbot are similar, fairly light..
I would say that Connaught green is the darkest.
Napier was quite dark.

Corrections welcome.

I prefer Corsa Red!
