I used Toyota Altair metallic green on my A7SS and don't think you will find any better.

I restored a 1955 A7SS which has a slightly lighter green than the later ones with the black frame. It is referred to in the UK as Citroen silver-green but in France known as Citroen vert-argent. It is an early 70's colour as used on the GS1200 club. I had some original 1955 parts which I got matched at a local paint shop. The frame was Rover Connaught green, not British Racing green which is too pale.

if you have a sample most automotive paint supply shops can colour match it with a  special camera

Hi Oceanobsession
           I have done two A7's in this great colour, look at the Daytona bike on the inside back page of this months November edition of Classic bike at the Mecum Auction.
  This colour is called Polychromatic light green and is available from   rsbikepaints hertfordshire  They are an excellent company for paint supplies.
      Hope this helps
