It may have been Candy Brandywine, I have an 85 FXRS that is candy red with what I think is candy brandywine (see my profile pic). I had to paint part of a fender once, and that is what I used. Also, when I was in the dealer about 5 years ago, they were selling new bikes with the same color scheme. You may want to check that paint color/code.
