Rallye Hood Emblem Color

[headejm]

I have 3 hood emblems and they are all different shades of red/orange. The middle broken one and the bottom reddish one were on my car since at least 1980. The top reddish one is a new reproduction. The two reddish ones look more similar in the photo than they do in person.

Question: What should the actual color be of these hood emblems?

I'm sure there was variations throughout the years on manufacturing, and how each paint reacted to climate exposure, age, etc... I don't think you can nail down an exact colour they were brand new 50 years ago, because even NOS ones in wrappers from 1970 can change with age

This will be interesting to follow as at some point, almost every original badge on my 70 RT will need restoration. I prefer to use anything original over repops so I can foresee some tedious details ahead.

If they had more than one supplier then there almost certainly will be variations.
Here are some used and NOS--The yellow 340's someone painted..

Not exactly the info you are asking for,but, if you choose to paint them to match, I found military 'Insignia Red' to be what my eye thinks is right.
Ferrari red is also good.
