Info needed: Deep Bronze Green

[Tony Smith]

I would be surprised if a Canadian paint supplier could not make it up using the BS381c reference, Colour 224.

In Australia, it is also a standard colour under the Australian Standard AS2700 as Colour G63, and as a Standard colour it is available in a staggering array of paint types, even house paint and powdercoat.

But AS2700 didn't come into force until 1996. Some inquisitive restorers before this date discovered that PPG (Aust) had a colour in their references called "Ford Army Fleet Green" (we used Ford D Series trucks in the 60's/70's that were still DBG after the rest of the green fleet went OD. There was a reference number as well, I'll see if I can find that, although I can't be certain that the same number will be used by PPG in North America as well.

The Ford Australia paint code for DBG was F196. Could that have an NA equivalent?
