Spencer, you have a few factors to contend with here. You may never get a spot on match for Supro G-23 green, due to age, mercury contamination in the phosphors used in the coating, and changes in the phosphors, due to environmental issues. These are conditions under which you have no control. Either EGL green or Voltarc green will be close. I do not know if Supro glass is even being made now. It's been many years since I have used any Supro glass, I do not recall it's being nearly as bright as Tropic Green. Maybe Sean will jump on this with more info. Peace and Good Luck, Don
