We really need to wait until you see the car outside the shelter. I saw the sample before the paint was ordered and it was very dark, definitely a lot of brown. The photos I posted seem to be much greener, but I haven't seen the car in person.
Joe: the reason there was no desire to match 470 to 292 or the other cars the Special Projects Department is restoring is that the era was targeted to be 20-some years prior. Whether that should be tuscan or brown/green, it's not going to match.
