Thanks for the kind words, Christoph. TOTORO’s exterior paint is Benjamin Moore 429, Garland Green. The match with Clarisa appears to be pure chance. Or maybe convergent evolution. I love the color but can take no credit for it as my wife picked it. I am quite colorblind and have learned to leave these choices to her. My only input was that I liked the Celeste green of Bianchi bikes but wanted something a bit warmer.
I think that Olive-Martini is a better name!

Your boys are lucky to have you as their dad.
I built an Ilur back in 2016-17 (see below). After many weeks of deliberation between various hues of green, I picked for Clarisa’s hull what appears to be the identical color as you have on your beautiful Seil. It was a custom color that was mixed for me by Kirby Paints. It was called “Olive-Martini”. Did you buy your paint from Kirby?
Thanks again!
Green Boat
