I have a few consoles also. Maybe not quite twenty though. I agree that it is uncommon to see a green console. I did get one a couple of years ago and wanted to do a little experiment. I ordered some of the Color Bond vinyl dye from LMC trucks. There was only one shade of green available so that is what I used. Here are a few pictures. The color does look a little off because I took the pictures in the last of the days sun. I took some pictures of the inside and bottom to give a better idea of the original color. I hope this helps you.

Had 8 kids"teens and twenty somethings" and 3 new grandkids living with me for a few months.Everytime I come in the door to get on my computer someone was on it and in front of the tv watching cable.I cut everything out until I got them all in their on places with their on vehicles.Just got everything cut back on 2 weeks ago and back to work on my house and truck stuff.I'm doing great now that they are all out of my hair.I love them all but I love them more that I have some peace!The bottom of that console looks like med olive.I may have to wait until I paint the truck to get the exact match.I haven't been able to find anything in a spray can that matches.I just did 2 consoles in med blue to match blue buckets.I completely stripped the consoles to the black molded in color.I primed the first with light gray primer and it matches the seats perfect.I ran out of gray primer so I used black on the second one and it came out darker with the same paint.I should have known better.That super is looking super zepp!Nice work.
