another type of orange

My friend is considering the color of orange to paint his 91 gta and neither of us like how common sunset orange and variations have become please suggest other oranges that could be chosen.

I'm not too sure about hugger orange on a bird. Tell your friend to start mixing his own or something.

Hugger Orange is the definitive classic color, but personally I'd have to go with sunset. I've seen exactly two cars in my town with that color, and I remember both of them clearly. It's eye-catching, relatively rare, and looks great on any f-body.
