Default Tangerine Orange Paint?

My buddie has decided to paint his bike Tangerine Orange. It is a HD color from back in the day. Anyone seen it or have a pic?

In 1988 Harley had a Tangerine Orange and Black for the FXRS-SP Low Rider and a Sporty model. My buddy still owns his FXRS-SP Low Rider in that same color combo.

I dont have any pics of his bike to show you.....sorry

I was just thinking , it might also be called Manderine Orange and Black........ but I will tell you its an awsome looking color.

I like Orange for some reason???

My 90' FXSTS was Harley Tangerine Orange but I couldn't get a match so I had to change color when I changed my rear fender style.
I tried to get the color or code from Harley but was told it wasn't a color then or they couldn't find the code.
Of course, none of my local paint suppliers could come up with it either.
Paint is one point I have against Harley. Another is cheap Chinese chrome .

I've seen it, but no pics.......Few years back a riding buddy
had Tangerine Pearl with "ghosted in" flames. Very sharp looking bike...

I'm not a huge fan on the color orange, unless its
extremely bright and loud......

I've always loved that color. Two toned with a cream pearl it is stunning. Saw a bagger in Daytona with this combo and it was drop dead gorgeous stunning! He'll love it!
