Hi all

Any suggestions for common irish company paint An Post green, ESB yellow Brennans Bread yellow orvis it just a case of mix and match?

Not so much mix and match, as all of these had their own well-defined liveries. I can't help with exact details, but I'm just mentioning that there have been three distinct shades of green for An Post. 

They used a dark leaf green for vans from 1920-something up to the mid 1970s, when they started using orange and white for a while on vans, with a lighter green on letter boxes, and green & cream phone boxes. More recently, a lighter green replaced within the last 18 months or so by whatever rainbow of shades they use now.

So, for post office vans, it's important to know first of all what period you want to cover.
