The closest might be printing it out to where color looks like what you want and taking it to a paint store.

Match it to the color in the book. Would need to check under the sun as in the picture.

Found this which is similar but a little lighter, might be able to get it mixed a little darker, guess I'll try to see if I can get some mixed.

It looks similar to the older truck next to it that has a factory color but a little darker. That's a nice color.

Well I gave up on the above color for now, instead I'm looking at using this one! Should really pop!

That should look really nice, pretty unique. Are you painting it yourself?

My cousin and I are going to paint it as long as we can get some free time this summer, but he's married with a kid and works at a body shop and I have two jobs so time isn't abundant. We're going to test paint my fleetside tailgate to see if I'm really in to this color or not. Lol

Since we're talking "Color".

I think that is that one Orange/Tan color scheme I said I'd seen a couple of times in the 80
s on new squares and liked it but didn't see it very often.
