paint codes

hi guys, i had an 850 spider a long time ago in a rather fetching shade of orange, was that the same orange as the 131's?...my memory has been dimmed by time.......if it is or not, does anyone have the code/s for those oranges? thanks..

Hi the colour code is 255 arancio Racing (orange racing)

ah thank you, was this orange used on the 850 spider too?...

I doubt it as the 850 inc Spider was a product of the 1960's. I'm pretty sure that 255 Racing Orange was only used on the 127 Sport and 131 Sport and was therefore a 'new' colour in late 1978.
