If you have anything that is the color you want a lot of paint stores will scan it for you and match the exact color you want.

i have dr pepper green, can give you a color code for English color if you have one in your area, not sure they are around anywhere but Dallas or i can send you a paint sample and you can get some made up in a gallon at Lowes or something like i did.  i did 3 spray paint cans thinking that might make it then realized it would take much more so i had Lowes match the spray paint color and they did it perfectly.   i used the door of my dr pepper machine where i peeled a decal off after 45 years, behind it was unfaded unseen, perfect dr pepper color green.  when English color scanned it, it came up in their system as 'dr pepper green'     im not sure their code means anything to anyone else.

Hello Pat:
The paint code for Dr Pepper Green is PPG Base Coat - 40846. This is the color that I use on my Dr. Pepper machines. Hope this helps you out.
