Actually in images I've seen the pre-merger green is lighter. Some 
photos I have seen with BN name/number patches on them the patch itself 
is darker. That presumes the patch is Cascade Green and I'm not totally 
certain of that.  Also, the patches are over paint that is two to three 
years old, so fading or color shifting is certainly possible when the 
photo was taken.  The film and the age of the photo are factors as 
well.  I'm intending to use John Deere green for a U23C I'm kitbashing, 
it matches photos I've found quite well.  I'm basing that mostly on some 
photos that are of fairly new U23s and SD45s.
