A little known fact about true '69 Camaro Hugger Orange - This same exact color was used on Pontiacs back in 1969 but it was called "Carousel Red" when it was used on a Firebird etc. Same color formula as the Chevrolet color. The original color was actualy a lot "redder" than people's memory or the repainted cars you see today with so-called "Hugger Orange" on them. The current formulas being mixed end up looking less "red" and are not 100% the same as the original color when converted to modern paint formulas. Most of the BC/CC versions of the original colors end up being a little bit off the mark.

-Mark.
