That is not Radiant Green - it is much closer to code 48 Sequoia Green.

Could be a repaint of 48 Sequoia. That's what color mine was originally, but it wasn't that shiny when I got it.

radiant green

HI
I had my car repainted. The body shop had paint guy come out with a camera. They took a picture of the cowl and it spit out a paint match formula. Granted it is now base coat with clear. Here is a picture

I bought that car and sold it a few years ago...the car was originally saddle bronze with the sienna colored interior. The car was taken down and repainted a very similar color close to radiant green, and although not factory it was a nice color combo.

I didn't think the color is radiant green because it's to dark. I also didn't think it was sequoia green either because it's lighter than that color. It's beautiful though. Nice color combo. Giftman23 do you remember the color mixture your paint guy used?
