I've been researching orange for my project car.
I get my paint at a PPG automotive supply shop (I know the owner). They had problems getting the mix codes for the older colors for modern paint. What I've decided to do is use the orange color on 2008 Ford Mustangs. It's ford color U3 and comes up as "Valencia Orange" in the PPG system. (the window sticker calls it "Grabber Orange") Another orange that is very close in color to the Mustang color is "Orange" on the new limited edition Boxster. Without parking the two cars next to one another (sure not going to happen!), I can't tell the difference in color. I can get the Ford color in a single stage paint and avoid doing a clear-coat.
