Yeah that's close but has more of a baby poop green tone to it than the original.
 
when new, these cars only came in leaf green, iris blue, olde english white, carrington beige and cherry red. Dark green was also available in 1959.Color chips are available from sikkens,ditzler,etc

"Meconium staining"... yep, that's it! :yesnod: I know this wasn't supposed to be an official color, but I've seen it elsewhere (just enough to wonder).

carrington beige??... never heard of it.

The only beige color for the Bugeye is Whitehall Nevada Beige, probably the most rare color for the Bugeye. My first Bugeye was Nevada Beige, as was the current one I'm restoring.

You can see to full color selection here. Info is from OSM by Terry Horler.
