I think this color is too dark (or appears that way to me) but some shots it looks about right and one shot makes it look blue!!!! So who knows????
This color looks like the Hirsch paint for ford green. I used this to paint my model B engine. The problem is that it is dark enough not even to be noticeable.
I prefer the lighter green as shown on DavidG's engine..I guess he mixed the color himself.

It is hard to tell because no one has any photos of the actual paint.
