The registry says the original color is Ford Ivy Green but Ivy green is a metallic green. My car was originally a non metallic dark green. I had a friend and his car was the same as mine. The friends car had a tag on the firewall that said the paint was RM Acrylic U133. I have not had any luck finding out what color that is. When I contacted RM they couldn't find U133. My car is now a metallic green and I have been toying with the idea to put it back to the original color.

I always thought the original color was British Racing Green. The problem is that BRG is a generic term for all kinds of greens including metallic green. So if anyone knows what the original color actually is I would like to know it.
