Default 1974 IROC RSR Donohue #10

Does anyone know the exact name and color code for the Orange? I have read many different answers, hoping for something definitive.

Thanks in advance, and in case you're wondering why I posted in this forum - I think it has the largest and most informed RS readership.

You may have done so already, but PM user "Z356", Eduardo seems to have a massive wealth of PTS/color background and information, with lots of historical context.

What a great car...!!!!

The code is 107.

It seems two oranges were available for the 1974 MY:
- Signal orange, 116
- Orange, 156
