Neither are directly helping, but both are good background info - thanks

Too many variables. Never ever rely on a colour in a photograph. First you have the error introduced by the camera (the colour temperature), then you have the error caused by the printing or display process.

Ok for a rough idea, ie dark green, mid green, light green, but I'd not go further than that.

All good, it's only a rough idea that I am looking for at the moment.
Once I think I have a close enough colour, then I can get more specific

Righto, this is the colour

It looks a little different in each photo, but thats the colour... does anyone know of a colour code for it?
