Can anyone help me with this color Orange - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What color orange do you think this may be? Or is there anyone out there that has more pics or details on this truck?
Thanks

looks a lot like my truck, if it is the same, it is 516 tangier orange. Doesn't look dark enough to be hugger orange.

good luck

Yeah I was gonna say it looks like hugger orange to me to. It isn't red enough to be Chevy orange and it's to dark to be Competition orange.

It looks to me to definitly be tangerine orange. I have a 72 with this orange and white. I will try to remember paint coade tonight. It may have been used in other years too. Didin't like it at first and then it really grew on me.

Looks more like House of Kolor Ultra Orange Pearl to me. If you look at the color where the light is hitting itgood it gets very bright. That is the pearl showing up. I've painted several trucks and cars w/ this color as well as a '69 Chevy truck and I am almost positive that is what it is. Although it could be one of the colors you guys are talking about w/ gold pearl sprayed over it. Hope this helps. Later
