Agreed. I really like that it looks somewhat old school and understated, but still has just the right amount of pop in the color contrast. As far as I can tell from research a "buckskin tan" from 78 is close in color. I will buy a small amount for a spray out.

Yeah, I think the artist really knocked that rendering out of the park. I did one (68 one ton dually) about a year ago that was close, but no cigar. This brown has a lot more red in it and looks cool.
My wife mentioned that "it looks like the same color". To which I added, no way, my original color was way more yellow.
