Well. It's more of a yellow green indeed.
So here's another green one beside it...

O aye that looks pretty Citron then. Very difficult, if you type in applejack to the Internet loads of citron looking ones come up, I wonder if applejack looks kind of yellow in a certain light? I doubt the two I posted earlier would look any kind of yellow in any light though... wish I could see a swatch in my hand...

The Halfords Rover 'Applejack Green' car spray paint is an exact match for the Rover codes: HMS, 228. It provides a tough, durable protective finish on metal

 

Might be worth getting a can of this to check the colour match by testing on a small hidden area.

It's worth taking care to test and check for the right colour match with Halfords paint... I've used some of their spray cans before and they weren't a super accurate match. However, as I discovered by happy accident, it turns out their tin of Rover Arum White is actually a near perfect match for good ol' Old English White, which has proven very handy for me painting various OEW bits for my car!
