Correct color for 70’ 440 magnum

[70RTSE383]

I am rebuilding a 440 for my 70' Challenger. I bought VHT hemi orange but it comes out the color of a pumpkin I:e orange with a brown tinge. Is this correct? What is a good brand rattle can color that looks correct?

A while back there was a thread on Moparts discussing this. The concensus was that when it came to rattle cans the "MOPAR" brand hemi orange was the most accurate when compared to OE samples.

IIRC the Mopar brand comes out more Race Hemi Orange, not the correct shade of Street Hemi Orange.  I have been using the Plastikote as it seems closer to the correct color to me.

..... but is the MOPAR brand "street HEMI orange" available - I haven't checked in ~6 months, but it was unavailable for the prior 2 years

I saw Mopar engine paint in Summit just a few months ago when I was there.  It listed the color as 'Hemi Orange" on the can.  Didn't specify street or race.

FWIW, here is a pic of my 70 383 that was painted with the Plastikote Chrysler orange.

In the past, I have also used the Duplicolor Chrysler orange, which they carry at the local auto parts store.  As I recall, the Duplicolor also had that brown tinge, which I didn't like.  I couldn't find the Pastikote locally, so think I ordered it from Amazon.
