Matching C&NW green roofs on Atlas passenger cars?

I want to add a Con-Cor passenger car to a C&NW train made of Atlas passenger cars.  They mostly match, with a slight length difference, except for the gray roof on the Con-Cor car not looking anything like the green roofs on the Atlas cars. 

Does anybody know of a decent matching paint in a rattle can?  Or is it going to be a custom mix job with an air brush - which I don't have time to do for a long while.

From the CNWHS website:  Tamiya TS-47 Chrome Yellow and TS-9 British Creen are almost perfect matches for Scalecoat's CNW colors.  (CNWHS Modeler #15-3)

Whether they match Atlas I have no idea, as I'm not a CNW modeler.
