Quote:
There is Orange, Hugger Orange which is a Chevy only color, Flame red, which is a GMC only color and Red. My 71 (see my Avatar) is Red. The SPID says light red. It's more of a reddish/orange. Looks very orange in direct sunlight and looks very red when it's cloudy or getting dark. Mine has faded and probably looks more orange than it did new, but looking at the dash and other places that haven't faded, you can see how much the paint leans toward orange. I've seen restored chevy trucks that are painted red or red & white, and it looks like flame red and not light red because those trucks look RED!

Even though it isn't a stock color, my truck is pearl orange and I get ton's of complements on it. Check out my build page at the bottom for pics!
