blazer color opinions

I plan on pinting my blazer a factory color. Harvest yellow is my choice as it actually is very close to Volunteer orange. I used photoshop 5.5 to get and idea of how it would look although the orange I used isn't exactly the factory color. What do you think?

It's called golf because all the other four letter words were taken.

Gee_Emm....that sums up Volunteer Orange, it supposed to look like a traffic cone. Just Kidding orangeuavol, in the summer a friend had me pick up a gallon of UT orange paint for him at a Lowe's store in Kingsport, since I was visiting some customers out there. Last week I was in Norhtern Virginia and was able to see the damage he did with it in his game room. One entire wall was the checkerboard. I needed sunglasses just to stay in the room.

Hopefully by fall I will have mine painted a more Burnt Orange tint.
