I'm building a Roden Albatros D.1 (1:72) airplane and the suggested colors confuse me. Roden lists Humbrol colors and one of the colors they suggest is Humbrol 120 Matt Light Green. But when I look at a color swatch for this color it does not look anything like a Light Green - it's just plain green. I found a color that I would like to match on the internet that kind of looks like a light green but I don't know what color it could be mapped to. I've attached a photo of the front end of the plane (the color is on the prop, cowling, wheel struts, and wheels (It's not lime green, nor is it olive green, I would call this more of an "avocado green". I have also attached the back of the Roden box - I hope that is legal as far as copyright issues go.

Can someone suggest a color to use for this aircraft?
