Guess this color

This should be a fun little game... to help me figure out this color. I think I have decided on a color for my FB project, and this is it. I knew it as soon as I laid eyes on it. Not too orange, not too brown, not too gold. I'm not even an orange or gold fan, but this exact color and shade really captured my heart.

Was this an OE color? I doubt it. If not, does anybody know what it might be? So far the closest thing I can come up with is Brazen Orange Metallic from the Pontiac GTO. Still too orange.



Maybe this would be closer to a metallic brown with a touch of gold and orange?

That is definitely Neon Brown Metallic.

There is a gold for the SA that is very close, but I haven't seen it on an FB. That job could be custom.

I can't tell if its more orange or more brown, but it looks a lot like Chrysler's Go-man-go color.

Solar gold isn't orange enough, go-mango is too orange, and not brown/metallic enough. I still think Brazen orange metallic is as close as I will get.

Too orange and bright, it looks like. Maybe I can just bring a picture and request a custom mix, as close as they are capable of mixing.

IDK what color that is, but I'd like to have a tanned blond woman bent over that passenger fender.
