Choosing a colour for a paint job
DomP:
Soon I'll hopefully be arranging a respray on my tatty tank and side covers, I'd originally decided in my head on a grey/graphite with a greeny gold metallic if that makes sense but I can't find what I've got in my minds eye. More recently I wondered if I should go a bit brighter with more of a full on green, how does everyone else chose a colour when respraying? Will paint shops be able help me with colour swatches, I've only ever had colour matching done before so just left them to it.

If you are not bothered about an original Honda colour Vauxhall made a metallic colour for the old HC Vivas called "Goodwood Green Starmist" they made a range of Starmist colours - pretty sure you can get them made up at a decent paint stockists.

Ooops
As for colour, find a picture of an object, or vehicle they can source a paint code

If you are planning to do a rattle can paint job yourself RUST-OLEUM do some metallic greens, although it's American there are UK suppliers but not all colours available.
Rust-Oleum has a decent cover being chip reistant - easy to find options online.
