Default need opinion on paint

i have a 98 gsr that was repainted not to long ago green pearl. unfortunatly the fron bumper needed to get replaced so its the crappy black. since the green i got is a bit lighter, ive come to the conclusion that i cant match it and i dont have money to get the whole front end painted just the bumper by someone i know who will give me a deal. i need opinions on a nice color that would look good if i cant match the green

heres a photo

Hopefully you can match it I like that color. There are companies that will take a small sample of your paint and make you a match, I just can't remember any names.

Check with your local paint stores. They should be able to match your paint or at least get it really close.

the auto paint store by my house will scan your paint to match it, and they do an excellent job at it, call around and see what some places can do

I know Dupont uses a scanner that will scan anything and give you a color code... You could take something as random as a piece of grass and scan it and it'll give a color code and its mixed up by a computer so its almost impossible to get wrong...
