Help me (color blind) identify what color my repainted 74 Road Runner is….I believe it’s orange or red/orange.

Car has been repainted and I’m looking to touch up a few chipped pieces. It doesn’t need to be exact just something close but I’m unfortunately red/green colorblind and since it’s repainted I can’t just go off the paint code (which was clearly not red or orange).

It’s orange right? Or a reddish orange?

Btw… that is a reddish orange color as opposed to Vitamin C Orange which is yellower.
 
Close to EV2 "Hemi Orange"/TorRed.

Have a paint supply shop color match it with their special tool.

I've had three hard to match and/or weathered colors matched 100%.

...the first two by an 18 year old kid with dreadlocks!

So easy to just go to a automotive paint store and color match a pint or so.
 
Mine on left is hemi orange, one on right is tor red.

I thought both colors were EV2, one Dodge name, one Plymouth name

You're right. Plymouth named it Tor-Red while Dodge used the Hemi Orange name for the same paint code. 'High-Impact' is also a Plymouth term, for the same wild colours Dodge used the description 'High Performance Colors'.
