How close is a sun faded "Medium Red" to "Hugger Orange"? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 72 C10 that says "Medium Red" on the SPID and needs at least an exterior paint job. We just completed rust repair in the common areas but paint inside of the cab on the doors and on dash are in excellent shape. All of the areas just mentioned appear to have sun faded to orange.

My fear is I buy new "Medium Red" paint, paint the exterior of the truck and the new paint will be more red than the sun faded original paint.

How close is the sun faded "Medium Red" to "Hugger Orange"? Has anyone repainted a "Light Red" or "Medium Red" truck "Hugger Orange"?
