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!
