The real BRG is a much lighter green than what car manufacturers call BRG.
Do some research and you will find out the real colour.

I was looking at BRG for a Moke and found that there were vast differences in shades dependant on the manufacturers. I found 14 shades . To me the shade used on the 1960s Jaguar racers is very close to Brunswick Green, a dark shade, whereas the colour used on the early BMCs is much lighter, the Lotus shade is different again.
I would not get too hung up on BRG as such but chose a colour that you prefer and that complements your project.
Again the shade/look will depend on what paint type, cellulose, 2 pack, enamel.
