Try Testors Model Master Acrylic - Duck Egg Blue. It looks like an exact match.

A quick look at vallejo color chart does indeed show a couple close matches. Maybe even a exact match. 70.832. as an example

That's Critchley's Mint Oritani mint green. If I still lived up there I'd stop by and put a colorimeter on one...
Here's a LINK to a photo, but it looks a little too pallid to be considered mint green, at least in my opinion, so I can't offer any mixing suggestions.
Mind you, when I hear "mint green", I think of mint leaves, which are considerably darker.
You might have some luck with a fairly vivid green, a fair amount of white, and just a touch of blue. For mixing colours, I usually use the "brushload" measurements...f'rinstance one brushload of green, then wipe the brush clean, then four or five brushloads of white, and, after again simply wiping the brush clean-ish, just a bit of blue to see where it takes you. If you fiddle around enough, colour mixing usually develops your skills, even though your first attempts may be completely off-base. The directions you need will eventually become self-apparent...I've mixed colours to match those in coloured photos, and after applying a little on the photo used, the swatch of paint is undiscernible unless viewed obliquely.

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone might know the paint mixture for Oneida and Western's Shamrock Coal mint green SD40-2s?
