Looks like Le Mans green but also looks like signal green 77 on the attached chart. Peppermint green as well maybe but the chart does not show that.

 

Here's a Le Mans green ....

Le Mans green is not on that chart of colours, is it a standard ford colour, where can I get some from?

 

That chart is mostly mK2 colours I think....Le Mans Green was for a MK1. I don't have the colour code sorry.

Can you get Le Mans green made up at somewhere like Halfords / Wilcos?

 

I would try a small bodyshop first see what they say.....should be fairly easy to mix as people have said above.

 

However, to my surprise, Halfords still stock cans of Carnival Red for my car which is a 1976 colour and quite rare these days so you may get a tin off the shelf if you are lucky. Good luck.

Your head must be in a spin ...either Le Mans green, Te'eresa (whatever that is) or Java Green?

 

How much of the car are you spraying?......you will soon find out the correct match :mrgreen:

 

If it turns out to be Java, then great news as it is one of the best colours IMO :thumbsup:

 

Couple more green un's below, bottom one Java green,
