Can anybody tell me what color this is supposed to be? Is it a stock color or a mix? I am going to do one of these and would like to know. Thanks guys.

Can anybody tell me what color this is

Orange!

It fall between yellow and red on the color wheel. Did I win?

Sorry, not sure if it's a mix or stock color. Good luck!

Hmm, orange. We have a winner!

There's one in every crowd. Actually I was hoping for a more exacting color of orange. It is a box art color, just have no idea what shade/color.

That's officially known as baby-poo yellow.

custom mix

The original:

In fact, I just noticed it's practically the exact same shade of "brownange" as this forum's text & title-bars.

The Cooke Woods Lola T600 car was a pretty bright shade of yellow. I saw the car at Road Atlanta back in the 1980s. I would search for images online (there are many of them). I'm not sure why there are so many images that show the headlight covers and center of stripes/ numbers to be blue. They looked black to me. That shot that a01butal posted is reflecting a deep blue sky. You can tell because the windscreen is reflecting the same color. they might have changed it to blue at some point. These cars got repainted a lot . This was always a favorite of mine.

Headlights might be taped up in the photo Al posted

So it is. I usually do check the net for images, but for some reason I brain farted this time. So I guess I just need to decide to go "box art" or realism on the paint job.

Thanks guys!

I like the box art color better the yellow is too bright for my eyes

Print the picture out and take to a good paint shop, they have computers that can match the paint and give a color mixture, if it is a mom and pop shop they should not have a problem giving you the color ratio to get it pretty close.
