You can't fool me Al, that's clearly Union Castle Lavender.
I'm leaning towards British Racing Green Drew. It is entirely plausible they could have traded torpedo juice for some from a passing Brit ship. And because I had a car painted that color and I liked it.

I have to agree with Jeff: British Racing Green. This is an Alfa Romeo Tipo B P3 in that particular color. The model is a metal Revival International 1/20 scale kit and was painted with Floquil lacquers mixed by reference to spectrometric analysis of a real paint chip from PT 109. It's a nice color.
Cheers!

British Racing Green, oh yeah! I always wanted an MGB in British Racing Green, with a black interior and black rag top.
Of course, it probably would have been in the shop a lot -- they say the reason the British don't make computers is that they haven't figured out a way for them to leak oil yet.

Oh God! I can see it now. Three years from now somebody's going to ask if the 109 was really Fuchsia, and somebody who's first name starts with T and last name starts with C is going to be ranting "No damn it, I know for a fact it was red! Mr. Ross would you please email me!"
I'm going to hell.

Back in the day, I owned a Triumph Spitfire. Pretty car, British Racing Green. But it had a radiator the size of a toaster and would only run in warm weather.
Some experts you guys are, anybody who's done ANY research knows that:
1) PT-109 left the yard in what Elco called "Italian Undershirt Grey"', and
2 ) It was eventually repainted with green Porch And Deck Enamel purchased at a hardware store in New Caledonia.
End of story.

We Brits aren't as stupid as you think when it comes to computers - we worked out that we can just put a drip tray under them
Best Regards,
Stu.
