Like others have mentioned, the last set of Fender flats I had had a lighter green silk on them, almost sea foam green.

Hofner might do a regular scale set too?

 

The other option is Fender 9050s. Looks like someone asked a similar question over on TB a few years back. Yours still look darker than the 9050s though and more in line with the Hofners, but they might have darkened with age.
