Brian Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hi, can anyone please tell me the correct paint code for this colour, as also used on the special edition that also appeared on the final one off the line year before last ? A friend in Johannesburg wants to match it to use on his IIA 109 station wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92.9 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 With regard to the final Defender off the production line, the colour is 'Grasmere Green', and as far as I can tell, the paint code is 2207 HBV. I'm not entirely sure if it's exactly the same colour as HUE 166, as it is a metallic finish. They describe it as the 'same' colour as HUE 166 though. Perhaps someone could clarify the details.

soutie Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 From Paintman "LAND ROVER ATLANTIC GREEN LRC726. A traditional single part Synthetic Coach Enamel paint used during 1999 for the Defender 90, 110, 130 Heritage range of Land Rovers. Although Land Rover Atlantic Green LRC726 is normally a special order colour and would need a lead time of around 2 weeks for delivery, we are currently holding a small stock due to popular demand. Out of pure interest, we have a swatch of Atlantic Green sat on the last Grasmere Green Land Rover. Grasmere Green is a Micatallic colour whilst Atlantic is a flat coat, however, the shade is almost identical" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92.9 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 That explains the question about the metallic then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael 120 MM Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 We live in a weatherboarded house and thought of a pale green colour but I need a british standard number. What better than HUE 166. I tried using the "LAND ROVER ATLANTIC GREEN LRC726” but I am being asked for a BSS number. Can anyone help please? Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightpot Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Atlantic green isnt a BS colour as far as I know, so wont have a BS colour code. Pretty sure 'Light Green' or 'pastel green' used on series land rovers which atlantic green is emulating is a BS colour though. You need to look through the BS colour chips and pick the closest colour basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 You might be better with a RAL colour code - everyone mixes these. A quick google shows 6021 Pale Green as a close shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Tried B&Q Valspar range? I think they can scan your colour from anything, if not they have hundreds of colour swatches for you to take home and put up against whatever you want to match it to.

TBH I think most paint shops have that technology and can mix any colour in any flavour of paint - I tend to buy Dulux Trade from Brewers.

Bowie69 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Yeah, not many paint shops round here other than B&Q tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Rover called the colour on the first 1500 ‘Light Green’ 🙂 People in the club have been calling it Sage Green for many years - but they can trace that name back to someone outside of the Factory.
