Here are some 912 colors:

Golden Green is a great color!
Porsche, VW and BMW all used the color name Velvet Green in the 60s. All were fairly different from each other. I had a 63 VW Doublecab truck in high school that was very close.
Here's a customer's Turkey Green, fresh out of paint. Below are pics of the inside of my headlight bucket and Early S poster's original Velvet Green which is very close to mine. It's an interesting color, essentially green with some blue in it.
