Personal preference of course, but I've always preferred greens that have more blue vs yellow in them, like Forest in your image above, with Racing and Jet being good choices also!

So it really is good advice to see it in person if possible or at least someone who can provide a picture that has that particular color.

I LOVE oak green (see my signature), but I would be hesitant to classify it as a "dark" green as the OP wanted. In the sunlight is really brightens up to a vivid/medium green. Below are photos of mine in various lighting conditions:

The configurator sucks on colors. Check out this link. Scroll down to post #202.
https://rennlist.com/forums/992-gt3-...-guide-14.html

And there are three racing greens - british, porsche, and aston martin. Don't get them mixed up. Also, several olives.

Thanks. I'm trying to find the darkest. From the thread it seems the images from that post are dark olive but I don't see it in post 202. Jet green looks the darkest here.

As a person who now has two pts cars, my first rule is to ask yourself this questions first - do you want a metallic car or a non-metallic car? Then you can start narrowing stuff down.
