Could be Hugger Orange. I think unless you can see in person the actual color you want to match up it's gonna be difficult using a picture on a computer monitor.

^^Agreed! ^^
I painted my 59 Hugger Orange and depending on light conditions, my cell phone camera and your computer screen can shift the color.
Best bet is get someone to do a spray out and then decide.
