1985 factory orange color code/name
 

What is the name or the code of the factory orange paint used on these trucks? I don't know the span of years this color was used in, but I do know that it was used in 85.

Thanks-

If you mean Omaha Orange,it has been used forever. That's the only color I consider pure Orange ever offered on GM Trucks. It's a fleet color that from time to time has been offered in the production paint line under other names. It's the Orange you see on Allied Moving Vans. I don't know a code,but www.autocolorlibrary.com would have it. They don't list up past '84,but as I said,the color never changes.

Here's the original information packet for an '85 chevy pickup, as found in the GM Heritage Center archives.

Exterior color combinations are shown on page 61 and it doesn't show any kind of "orange" available (at least by noun name).

Thanks guys. For some reason i thought it was called tangier orange, but I'm not seeing it. Omaha orange looks like it could be the orange I'm looking for. Maybe it was used on commercial/fleet trucks only.

Thanks again

It was a fleet color and Tangiers Orange is one name GM used for it. They re the same color.

Going to look HOT! Remember those Stepside with the white stripe package? I forget what the promo was called,but I remember the Orange and the Blue. That's the Orange. I think of Competition Orange when seen on a hot truck!
