Actaully there were about 6 different greens on the marques you mentioned,
but the BRG that Mazda used is really close to the BRG Jaguar used in the mid
1960's.  MG had a color called Forest Green that was a bit lighter, and
Triumph had a Apple Green that was really light.  Real racing British Racing
Green should be almost black (IMHO).  Of course they also should have painted
the nose yellow and had a white stripe across the hood and had wire wheels
with knock offs......
