Just popped over from the Ultima forum, I have a Canam which I am thinking of repainting orange.
I have always loved the colours that Lamborghini use but there seem to be so many different shades I am a little confused as to which one is which, does anyone on here have a link to a good website that lists the different shades of orange they use and perhaps shows example cars painted?
The colour that I seem to like most is Arancio Atlas Pearl (sp) any other ideas would be much appreciated.

thanks for your help

Arancio Atlas Pearl is the best.
I wasn't aware that Lamborghini used lots of other oranges.
Make sure that it is a metallic though or it will end up looking like a seventies kit car.

Cheers.

there is another shade of orange Lambo use called Arancio Borrealis which i think is a bit deeper than arancio atlas. Arancio Atlas is a lovely colour though i recently saw a pic of a TVR Tuscan in that colour. looked stunning!

Here's a colour configurator - but they aren't true hues. Use google on the colour names.

Thanks for your help chaps, looks like Arancio Atlas Pearl is the one, just need to find a good local bodyshop to Herts.

Not so fast!

Look at Arancio Ishatar as well - VERY nice colour!

Dealmaker,

I agree that colour is lovely too, prob need to see a car painted in that colour sat next to one painted in the Arancio Atlas colour before making my mind up, but being realistic I probably have more chance of pis-ing in the Queens Handbag than that happening!

Looks like more searching on Google for me.

Thanks again for your help
