A color question....

Ok while restoring my 86 Sport Coupe I found out that the car was not originally the color I bought it. I ran the RPO's here, and I found that the primary color was something like "Wild Hawaiian Orchid". I'm a little confused cause on another post, someone listed the available colors for 86, and the closest thing was "Metallic Silver."
So my question is, what is the exact primary color, does anyone have a pic of it, and does anyone know how many 86 Sport Coupes were produced in this color?
My secondary color was listed as all other 86's- black.

What is your color code?, Hawaiian orchid was not a color used in 1986, if your car was silver than a total of 11750 '86 Camaros were painted that color. Chris

OK My bad. I checked again, my color RPO is 84U, which I found out was medium gray. Not a rare color, so I guess nothing wrong with custom painting the car.
