1972 DT-2 correct tank color was created by z34m40

Does anyone know the correct color code or what I need to know to bring it to a paint shop to have painted ?  It's the color that looks orange but some have said the correct color name is Pearl Yellow. 

Thank you

Check this site out.

This info is in a pdf in the Tech Library somewhere, but not in alphabetical order.

Whilst the colour of the DT2 is commonly referred to as Pearl Yellow, it LOOKS like it MIGHT actually be Pearl Yellow Gold, which sort of makes sense when you look at the original, unfaded paintwork. I'd like others to confirm this first, though!

If it is Pearl Yellow Gold, then the Colour Code is 11 and the abbreviation is PYG. I am from the UK, and so have spelt colour the correct way!!

My DT2 parts book ( US ) lists the colour as Pearl Yellow Gold ,
as Allan has suggested .

Thanks for confirming Swoop - I've not seen a reference to the "Gold" element before.
