The color of my truck has a name
I bought a couple rims and wanted them powder coated to match. Took the truck to the body shop and he scanned it in 3 different places. The hex code his computer spit out is called BMW Volcanic Orange. I think this is just pure coincidence since this truck was painted back in the 70's.
So everyone I had sent messages regarding "what color is this" . . . now we know.

Re: The color of my truck has a name
When they scan, it compares that color to the nearest color in their library. So, yours picked up a BMW color as the nearest. One time I needed Washington Blue for a roadster I was restoring. The "nearest" color was actually two, a Mercedes blue and Massachusets State Police car blue. How close any library color is can vary significantly so touch-up only can be noticable.

Re: The color of my truck has a name
I had a '72 Ford Econoline E-100 van back in the day that was the color of your truck (or similar). The color was "Chrome Yellow" similar to the one in the picture.

Re: The color of my truck has a name
That color looks to me to be similar to the "school bus" color from the model A era. We found that the Minneapolis Moline tractor color was very close. It is called Prairie Gold, from the tractor Supply store.

Re: The color of my truck has a name
No problem. You could write a song about it.

I thought it would be close to a school bus or the new Cyber Orange on the Bronco.

Not sure how that's relevant. Just talking about color, not hot dogs unless the color was close to mustard. Then it would be. A friend called it nacho colored though, so food related.

Re: The color of my truck has a name
Weak attempt at a jest. You said your color had a name.
