PPG Pro's? Help me Match These Colors in the PPG Paint Line: Make a few bucks

So ive spent some time trying to match these shades of green and so far the best i can come up with is:
top color: estate green, grenade green? maybe vermeer green would look good
lower color: Highland Green, Hunter green?

Any help matching these colors or doing some color testing for me would be much appreciated. I would even be willing to send someone a few ducketts via paypal for your time.

the pin stripe im thinking would be nice in a silver frost color? something to make it pop to really show its a 2 tone.

Matching to monitor colors is hit and miss. Have you tried pinging Carter Hickman Design?

I really like those colors too.

sure, call the guy first, he might give up the color, if not, then print off a nice picture on photo paper, make sure you like it. lighten it or darken it as you see fit. then call which ever PPG shop is near and one that has a book called..... some call it a shade book, some call it a fleet book, but either way it is a book with some major colors all in order by shade, just run your pic down the page til you get a match. if no one has it I'll see what it is called or ordered by(ppg #) let me know.
