Its that swage line that runs under the door mirror, over the handles and onto the bonnet and the exagerated nose cutback.
Good try for a few minutes work though.

I always thought the opel green metallic what was on vectra's about 10 years ago was a good metallic. A sort of emerald green metallic. And then gold coloured minilites.

I think there was a close one in Renault, but having said that I've seen quite a few shades of Triumph Inca yellow.
Best so far is the one ST painted on my sills, a very deep colour.

Your photoshopping is a lot better than my attempts.
The pic still sends a shiver down the spine.

Tony I think Vauxhall do a yellow, not sure if it's solid or metallic/pearl though, I think Audi may do one as well.

I found some renault stuff. One looks light like mimosa and the other was too orangey for me. Maybe others I guess

Vauxhall Corsas and Audi RS4's.
I think the Audi colour is called Austin Yellow, the same as what Raf was describing with the BM but the Audi version is a bit brighter and more yellow rather than green.

I think you'd need to test drive it to properly appreciate the colour....
