TruColor paints makes both IT Green and IT Yellow (TCP303 & 304 respectively). Also, Des Plaines Hobbies, in Chicagoland, in years past had, and may still, Scalecoat custom bottle IT Green in both SC I and SC II formulations.

I do not recall Floquil, PollyScale AccuFlex, AccuPaint, PolyFlex nor ModelFlex ever offering the correct color.

A footnote: the original "fruit salad" green was a bit deeper than the "common" IT green. And the green used on the SD39's as delivered from EMD had a bit less yellow. Outside of bright sunlight they all looked pretty much the same.
