What Colour is this Morris?

G'day All,
What colour do you think this Morris is? It's the colour I want to paint mine.
My guess is it's close to "Porcelain Green" (GN 17) (see link) but this is an Australian colour from a later date, so probably doesn't correspond with a UK colour.
Of course, I'm also assuming that it's painted in an original Morris colour...
Cheers
Shawn

It looks more like sage green than porcelain green to me. Porcelain green is a bit lighter (see signature pic for RogerRust).

Its not Porcelain Green, it's a LOT lighter.
Could be Sage Green. I found this pic of a sage green car
Perhaps Empire green? anyone got a pic of that colour?

I found this link to a Morris Oxford in Empire Green.

Looks about right to me and Empire Green is a stock colour for a series II like the one in your pic.

mmmmm not sure, photographs can be deceiving. However going by shade, it could be Sage, but then again........
