Default Spot the difference, LY6P vs LZ6G

This is one for the real anoraks (IT where are you.....)
I bought a boot lid numberplate panel from our sponsors, to play with (and butcher) while working out how to mount a reversing camera.

Luckily they had a dark green one, from a PF D2 A8, colour code (they said) LY6P which is I think Ragusa Green. Doesn't matter really, but nice if it's not radically different while on the car temporarily.

It arrived, a bit grubby and tatty (not a complaint, it matched the photo!) so I cleaned it up. Buggered if I can tell the difference from my car which is LZ6G, Irish Green Pearl!

Now there hasn't been much sun today and my car absolutely GLEAMS in the sunshine, but in the overcast gloom that passes for summer this year the colours look identical. Maybe when the sun comes out there will be a difference?

So, does anyone know, is Ragusa Green the same as Irish Green Pearl but without the sparkly bits?

No idea - but maybe the colour descriptor is changed for different countries, but the actual colour is the same? Is your Ragusa Green bootlid definitely from a UK-based car? - I've never heard of Ragusa Green before...
