If you can date the bike you might find catalogues. Maybe old Sears catalogues. If an automotive plant was near by at the time it might be their paint.

I would just clean it and polish it up as best you can. Enjoy the patina of an old used bike, you wont find a perfect match.
Schwinn is the only brand that still has touch up paint for their vintage bikes, and that’s largely because they had a dominant narket share and used the same colors for years.

I know it’s not a perfect match but by the picture it looks a lot like the dark green from hammerite (also looks like the racing green from UK cars)
