Try this chart - bear in mind that matching from the internet is basically impossible - got to see the real color under natural light.

I would suspect is is 65-65 Irish Green or 56 Lago Green Metallic (if there is any metallic in that can't tell in the pic).
For the chart, if you see a color, click the mouse over it for a larger version.

I'm pretty sure that's Fjord Green #5705. They also had a green called Lago Green Met. #5605 that is the same color of green too. According to DerWhite (see link below) Lago became or was replaced with Fjord. Irish Green is a C model paint that is about the same as Fjord, but I don't have the code. It can be found at one of the sites though. I think they have a page that includes the paint mix formulas too.
For examples just google "356 paint colors". Wilhoites has some incomplete paint charts but for a small fee they will send a sprayed sample of any of the 356 colors. That should nail down the color for you.
Charlie DerWhite's page for 356s can be found under the link below. I think he is about the third site listed under the google search. You will see paint charts and also the interior combos that went with them. (Plus Glasurit paint codes.) his site has the complete 356 charts and interior combo lists. His pages on 356s are probably the most extensive and accurate on the net. Here's the paint page:

Angela's right. It's not easy to match looking at the color chart mentioned. I thought it looked most like Aurantium Green. Then too, suppose it's a custom mix, or an attempt to match an original color that was not successful. I guess that happens too.
Whatever green it is, it's beautiful. Who said it's not easy being green?
Kermit???
Thanks all for the help. Especially to Jim and Angela for the links. The next step
for the SAW is paint and I'm thinking green. JK
