Help with MTL Color

Thought that would get attention  :D   Really, researching these Chessie/B&O safety cabeese and one we would like to do was painted "chartreuse" and coined the Chartreuse Caboose.  Anyone have a color reference for this...our PMS shows a real ugly pea green day glow that seems too much!   Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again

Contact the Chessie Historical guys. They gave me a bunch of Sherwin-Williams codes to use...

Who said this isn't a cooperative industry?

I can understand wanting confirmation of that color.
In that regard I can't help, however, I would like to
point out that safety colors are eye catching.

Dayglow/lime green is ... um... eye catching.

like the Mr. Yuck stickers.

You are looking for photos and reference materials?

Joe,

You did not give a road number.

Looking through my collection, it looks like you must be talking about  C-3774?

I have collected multiple photos of every Chessie System Caboose.  Some in fairly new paint and some in old faded paint.

Joe- I called your voicemail at MT and left a message.
