Hi
I need some help to get a paint code or colour for a 1978 635csi. Cannot find a paint code tag on the car, so I'm hoping someone will know. It's a light green metallic, aka silver green.
Pic attached...
thanks

Just realised the pic I posted was a poor choice.
Here is another.

Good Morning,
This may help you. The colour looks very similar to an '02' colour called Taiga-Metallic, its BMW colour code was 072.
If you check with a good auto paint shop they would be able to confirm from their data base.

Ken is correct.

It's Reseda Green.

Thanks Ken & Chris...much appreciated...that translates to 075, which makes sense. G
