1958 Dark Green paint

I have just replaced the wings and doors on my 1958 4 door, which is in 'Dark Green' The only issue is that I cannot find a paint supplier that has the code for this colour to mix the correct shade. The paint mixers' catalogues have every other BL colour listed, but not the BL GN12 Dark Green colour. Has anyone else painted a dark green car that could assist in either codes, or where to get the paint?
regards,
Nik

How old is the rest of the paint?
To get a match for what's there get the colour matched.

Thanks Taupe, I will phone them up in the morning.

The other paint is mostly original (1958) ...so I guess I could do a matching up job...I have been a bit sceptical about this in the past though!
