Your CT1-B is Candy Green.
If you use the search function you’ll see what others have used.
If you’re in the US Marbles Motors have an aerosol version.

Lists of original paint codes and numbers are in this thread.  Codes are pretty much useless most of the time. 

Post #15 of this thread has complete directions on how Devin recreated the Candy Green using modern paints available in the US and possibly other countries.

Yamaha New ElToro Orange.
 I came across this quite by accident. My wife makes hand made tumblers and such. Today she showed me one she made for a Miami Hurricanes fan that was half Orange and Half Green. I looked at that and told her "Hey, that kind of looks like the Orange on my bike.
 I went out and got the tank and brought it in and Shazam! looks the same. Put it outside in the sun and see for yourself.. 
I believe I will restore this tank now with her leftover paint.

Original paint codes and names are pretty useless.  Code was "34" and Yamaha called it "Candy Purple" and then "Metallic Purple".

Did you etch prime under this or does it just go straight on because it is engine enamel?

I know this is the Yamaha Enduro forum, but I thought maybe some could help me with codes or brands for a 1977 Yamaha TY250 which is a trials bike. I'll attach a picture I got online and a picture of what mine looks like. Thanks.

Okay I see that at this time uploading photos can't be done. Maybe later.
