Green Color Codes

[dave48]

My 78 Jarama is in need of repainting. I like some of the green colors I?ve seen and some I don?t. When I look-up the Laverda color codes I find RAL 6002 and RAL 6029. However when you Google these colors you come up with 50 shades of each. I?m looking for a (darker) forest or leaf green. Could somebody that painted a bike green tell me what they used? Photos would be nice.

This is painted 6029

Here are a few to consider, with pics:

RAL6002, a green with a fair amount of yellow tint.
Piaggio green, code PIA 409, modified to contain only 30% of the specified white tint.
AR 241 Verde (Alfa-Rom?o).  I think the attached picture shows JLO's bike.

Also RAL6005, which is a much darker green, no pic.

Best would be to borrow a sidepanel and match it to the shade on the inside as it will likely be fresher than the outside.
I have one that seems the correct shade on the inside.
Where are you?

I painted my bike in AR 241 when i bought it back after some bastard had painted it black. I gave that code to JLO. I went to buy some in that code to paint the carbon replacements and now find out that it is not available in basecoat and so not of much use if you want to topcoat with 2k clear.

I ended up colour matching to a green which was a Ford colour - Yorkshire Electrical Board Green. looks the goods so far but have yet to paint the tanks and then clear coat all so will have to wait and see.

Thanks guys. I think I like the Piaggio green best, nice and dark.
Grant ? Thanks for the offer but I?m in Missouri, central U.S., so I don?t think that will work.
Davo ? The reason I?m painting mine is because it?s black. I can?t blame some other bastard. I did it myself some 30 years ago. It was the 80?s, black was cool and I was young and stupid.
