Ralphwg - yeah, I think I mentioned upstream that it's technically "British Racing Green Metallic." And, agreed, it's a little too metallic.
Q&C - absolutely agreed on the specificity of the color-- so it's not clear to me why Jaguar has strayed from it and yet continues use the name. (And that pic of the BRG Aston was taken a few blocks from where I live!)
Terverun - gotta disagree on the black. This is my third black car, and my favorite black by far. There's just enough metallic, and it has two great results: first, there's a depth to it that I don't think Ebony has, and second, it has the effect of hiding polishing imperfections, especially in direct sun. I don't have to obsess as much about it.
And I once took a look a Botanical Green XK in the sun-- way too close to a Lime Green for may taste. I mean that thing was GREEN.

Germans by contrast never stray, as result they have miraculously not made any contributions to modern music/film, their tiny neighbor Sweden has done more by magnitudes.
Its also un-British to promote, its seen as braggadocios. As result, they never explain themselves. You could say metallic green is conundrum of creative, classy contrarians.
Wilshire, I would have never guessed you were Korean.

Green grass, fall leaves, blue sky, unite in spectacular reflections that play along the lines.
