Thumbs up hows about this one?

I am considering buying a road king thats about 250 miles from where I live. In the pictures I cant tell what color the "yellow" is exactly. Its a 2001 road king. I have looked at the colorite web page and they dont list anything even close that year so I was thinking maybe its one of those colors they only offered in the spring of that year. Does anyone know the name of the color? I think just the name will give me a better sense of the color. I dont want chrome yellow or anything that bright yellow. I can handle a mustard yellow or pearl yellow. I just dont want to drive 250 miles to buy the bike and it be bright friggin yellow. Thanks for any info or help.

That is a bright yellow, but it is not bad. I cannot remember the exact tone of the color though.

You can always change the color later. I'd be more worried about the rest of the bike.
