It's not midori green. Kinda looks like a Del Sol color. It might be a custom color though. You'll probably have to take a sample (door handle maybe) and get someone to mix paint off of that.

You need to tell the shop what color it is before they paint, or are you trying to paint it yourself? Any competent shop should be able to color match without a color name.
