What is thought of today as correct is just an arbitrarily agreed range of greens. The general thinking is that all engine/trans parts should match in one particular car, not necessarily between two different cars.

The
Judging Standards state "...The color of Ford engine green was neither bright nor dark. It did, however, vary in shade from engine to engine.
All parts painted Ford engine green should match..."
The
Paint & Finish Guide states "...The color shade varied during production. The paint color of all parts painted Engine Green, however, did match."
I use the the Bill Hirsch engine green brush type, and find it a bit darker and glossier than I would like to see (my visual appeal, not reference any standard), but at least when I paint pieces at different times the color is consistent.
