Default Orange color codes?

I've been wanting to paint my s2000 orange but im looking for a type of orange that really sticks out there with black. I've been looking around on some pictures but I can't find no color codes on what the orange color would be. Here are some samples of what Im wanting my car to look like

I'm looking more towards the m3 orange but im not sure if thats the original color of bmw's or if thats just a custom paint job. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Go to a paint supply place and they should have tons of samples to look at

It's the best factory orange I've seen, and I love orange (go tigers...)
Has a classy look to with the tri-coat pearl

You have your Proteges confused. Protege MP3 was only Sunburst Yellow or Laser Blue Mica. You are thinking of the 03 Mazdaspeed Protege that was available in Spicy Orange Mica.

I'm actually painting my S2000 APR Widebody that color right now. I just dropped it off yesterday night. I believe that's factory color. Fir Orange. I will get a sample before I have it painted, I will let you know.
