You are not comparing apples to apples if you are looking at original unfaded color samples there in your hand versus a website. The website is subject to the scanner that stored the image, plus the computer screen (or phone) in front of you. Both may be green, but the shade can vary widely. Photos of original vehicles are maybe the most variable depending on the camera, film, and developing. Physical color samples will be the most reliable.
