Like the title says
is the orange on a 67 c10 called hugger orange also or is it something different?

there was a thread on here a couple days ago about a blue truck, a man looking for a color and someone posted a link to color codes of all years. I went back and found it a page or two deep here and the color code for the orange[516] is the same for 67 69 and 72 . so going by that I would assume the orange is the same for all years and yes it would be Hugger Orange but I don't think they called it Hugger Orange until 1969.

The Orange color used in '67 + '68 [516] was called "Omaha Orange" in earlier years. It's a lighter hue (more yellow, less red) than the 1969 "Hugger Orange."
Called "Tangerine" and "Tangier Orange" even "Sunbolt" in later years.
Names for car and truck colors are decided more from the Marketing and Advertising department than from any scientific adherence to true colors.

oh cuz i was thinking of vanity plate ideas and "huggerO" was sounding good.
"omahaO" doesnt have the same ring to it (unless I lived in nebrasca)
