Name that pigment!

So I got this pigment sample years ago, and it's a beautiful green. Stupid me, peeled off the label the second I got it, and I don't know what it is! I think it might be kelly green, but I'm really not sure because there isn't a pro shop anywhere near where I live.

So heres a swatch I made, of what little I had left. Hopefully one of you girls can help me identify it! It's one of my favourite colours ever!

You might want to try Golden Olive.

maybe chartreuse?

Here's another pic of it, I must find out! And don't mind the yellowish tinge, my camera gives that off for some reason o_O

Oh and its a bit similar to my swimming, but its more of a truer green with a tiny bit of a silver undertone! Im not much help :[

I was thinking Emerald Green but it's a little darker than that. I have no idea!

I think it's the regular dc'd green if it's a frosty finish.

Is it frosty or matte when you swatch it? From the first swatch it looks frosty and the second swatch looks matte.

It looks a little like Chartreuse to me. I can't tell if it is matte or frosty, though.

Kelly Green maybe. Mine is def not matte. Landscape green is a similar hue but matte
I just swatched mine and it looks very similar.
My camera is out of service so I can't photograph it for you.

However there is a great swatch here....

With the lime-ish color, I'd say True Chartreuse (pro) - at first I thought Chartreuse, but the second photo was much darker and less bright. If it's matte, MAYBE Landscape green. Can you take a photo with your swatch and the container next to it perhaps?

Totally Kelly Green to me. No way is it Chartreuse, that more on the line of Juxt e/s rather than Swimming e/s IMO.
