So I was simply wondering what the different shades of green are that are commonly seen on the zagato models. It seems the lightest shade is "zagato " green which is a bit darker than AM racing green. Then the classic DB4 GTZ shade is " sanction" green then "Sanction II" is slightly darker.
Here are a few links, I was wondering If I am correct as far as colors go?

Sanction green: http://www.astonmartins.com/db4_5_6_s/images/DSCN0...
Sanction 2 green: http://www.astonmartins.com/db4_5_6_s/am126.jpg

Do you think this is right ?
- Thanks

Couldn't tell you but the one that looks best is the green on the DB4 GTZ in the background of your first shot.

as you rightly point out there are many different Aston Martin racing green colours. There is no definitive Zagato Green. However, you can rest assured that sanction 2 green is also known as Ford Forest Green! Try, Sea Green, Almond Green and Chiltern green as well. They have all been painted on Zags and are all collectively known as Aston R G. Hope this helps.

Sorry to double post, I should have re read your post. The most common colour imho would be Almond green, but Sanction 2 green is pretty popular too.

I have another green to add to the list, Pentland Green. That is the colour of mine and [ as you would expect ] it is the best colour. If I knew how to put a photo on here I would but it is on Goodwood Breakfast Club on Flikr at Supercar Sunday in June.

I beg to differ, Chiltern Green all the way, but I'm biased too :-) Good to meet you on Sunday Bungie!

Good to meet you too and I think the colour of your car is a very close second. The interior of yours was beautiful too.
