If you google the color you come up with a few iterations.

I don't know why this car is sticking in my mind. I'm not even a green guy but suddenly I love this color. Course it doesn't hurt that the car is in stellar condition

I'd have to check a mid year color chart to be certain but in that lighting it looks a helluva lot more
like Avocado Green because of the shade more than anything .. Very well could be a version of leaf green actually..

A lot has to do with the camera and the lighting. Could even be Irish Green depending on camera filters and lighting

Willow Green
Lighting plays a big part. My 914 was L63K, Willow Green and , depending on the lighting, would look very much like the OP's color.
