gauge color match - Glowshift 10 Color or something else?

If you own a Glowshift 10 Color gauge, how close is the orange color to our OEM FB dash color? Any other recommendations for gauge color match?

I am trying to get close to the original Mazda FB orange gauge color without spending a few hundred dollars. Of course if $70 isn't getting me close I can get something more vanilla from Amazon for a third of that. Not that it matters but looking at oil temp and amps.

I have an 83 and have Glowshift 10 color gauges. I bought them for the same reason as you are looking at. The orange doesn't match the gauges, as the website picture seems to show. The amber (yellow) matches pretty close. I will try and get a picture of the 2.

Thanks! Exactly what I was wondering. I'd love to see the pics, but I think this is enough to go on if you don't have them handy.
