Can anyone identify this paint color?

I have been searching and searching trying to figure out what the color is on this truck. To me looks like brick red, rust red, iron oxide, but none of those terms get me anywhere. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Maybe try Cardinal red.

There WAS a factory color called that for the Task Force trucks but it wasn't quite this brown.

Here's another truck with a similar color...kind of reminds me of the color of GM's primer that they use to use. Its like a deep red but not a maroon kind if deep, it doesn't have the purple in it.
