Most older airplanes used a zinc chromate primer on the bare metal parts for corrosion protection. Depending upon the manufacturer, the color of the primer varied from a dark green to a lighter, yellowish green. I suspect that as long as the color you use has the label of something like "zinc chromate green" you will be in the ball park.
