Does anyone have a color chart to show the different oranges for 1973, tangerine, gulf orange, blood orange, etc? thanks, mark

tangerine and blood orange are the same - blutorange, the others are Gulf orange and signal orange

the best on-line reference is http://www.elferhelfer.com/farben.htm

where they show you pictures of cars in each colour

however it still depends on your monitor and the quality of the picture in the fist place

looking at the paint chips in the RS book and having seen all in real life i would characterize tangerine as the "reddest", gulf orange as the most orange (although the cars i have seen it was a "duller" colour than I had expected) and signal orange part way between gulf orange and signal yellow (but not as bright as signal yellow) and having a "brownish" tone to it compared to gulf orange

I know it is a later color but I think Continental Orange is best.

I've seen that site, problem is that some of the people contributing have incorrectly posted. And as you stated, monitor, and original source variations. Recommend using the paint codes to have a sample made up. I've used these guys in the past.
