A little info on Hugger Orange:

It was introduced in 1969. It was the marketing nickname for the 1969 Camaro, appearing in magazine ads and commercials. It was in reference to the cars handling characteristics (it hugs corners... so it's the hugger!). GM advertising used the hugger promotion to offer special color combos with hugger orange paint and an orange and houndstooth interior. Of course the '69 Indy Pace Car had hugger orange stripes.

Hugger Orange on Corvettes was called Monaco Orange on GMC's the name was Red/Orange.

The color has always been confusing because it changes from red to orange, depending on the light.

Here's a '69 mero in the sun - looks orange, right?

I don't know if it is "hugger" but it is orange. I wish I knew because I need some touch up paint in a few places.
