Dark moss is more a deeper forest green, Highland is a little lighter.

The DMG sample I have is "similar" to my Lime Gold in that it has a "semi-metallic" look, drifting towards a goldish hint in bright direct sun, does the HG have similar gold highlights?

And if anyone had something similar to the below, but based on PPG, for the HG it would be helpful...

This is using Du Pont Chroma Premier Base Color. 4869F
1968 Ford Code: 3067 Highland Green-Effect Metallic/iridescent content>5 Grams/Liter

Tinting Guide: Mix Size: 64.0oz.
# DISC. Grams:
4530S FLOP CONTROL AGENT 324.2
806J HS BLACK 591.7
832J GREEN 790.7
890J TRANSOX YELO 835.9
810J FINE ALUMINUM 852.9
813J MED COURSE AL 866.6
62320F BINDER 1771.7

This is straight from my base coat can, and confirmed by my paint guy. I hope this helps you out

The highland green is substantialy different. It has more metalic and more gold tones in the sunlight when compared to the dark Moss green IMO. Bob

This is my 68 in highland green metallic. It is a ppg paint. In  the right light it does give off a goldish tint as well.
