I've been looking for years for a touch up that matches this color. I took it to a paint shop and they said they couldn't mix anything to match it because of the metallic flakes in it.

The Dark Jade looks too dark to match to me.

Green Glow on the 1975 chart looks closer to me.

The problem with doing this on the computer is that the monitor settings are going to throw the color off. My monitor at home, for example, is much brighter than my monitor at work. Doing this by computer and not by eye in person is asking for a mismatch.
