Advice needed - DP215 Colour

[take-good-care-of-the-forest-dewey]

Morning Folks, I would appreciate some help from those with some AML classics knowledge.

Does anyone know the name of the colour used on DP215 or similar era cars - I know they're probably all slightly different as was the norm back then.

Ideally I'm looking for a name, colour code - so that I can obtain some - and any suggestions of who may be able to supply.

Sadly it's for nothing exotic, but I'd like to respray a bike frame that colour, so contacting AML for some paint would be somewhat disproportionate given it's a £20 million car.

And here's a pic of DP215 to jog memories...well why not...just look at it.



Thanks in advance.

Thanks...they're more of a bluey green though. DP215 is more of a metallic olive drab type colour.

Looks like the old Aston colour California Sage to me.

Quick search and it seems to be the right colour...well close enough. I've found some suppliers too. Thank you Sir!
