The following is the message I got from autocolrlibrary.com on my request as to the original Cobra Green. In the SAC registry it just states it's a custom color.

Hello Ray ,

My very reliable list says it's Ivy Green code R .We can make your

color exactly , in any of PPG 's modern finishes .

When we produce original colors, we do not use offsets (colors selected that appear similar but lack the proper appearance in sunlight). We have a complete lab stocked with the correct toners and metallics to make the COLORS OF YESTERDAY come alive today.
Colors are reproduced in our lab using original formulas and standards authentic to the era. Each color order receives a spray-out panel and is CERTIFIED by our LAB to be correct to standard.




Thanks,
Jim
